Ethanol Fuel In Hawaii
Ethanol is not presently manufactured in Hawaii and Hawaii State law requires all gasoline sold for vehicles to have 10% ethanol blended (E-10). No E-85 (85% ethanol) is yet sold for flex fuel use. Presently, over 40,000,000 US gallons (150,000,000 l; 33,000,000 imp gal) of ethanol are imported from the Caribbean or continental US. Shipping costs, which amount to 20 to 30 cents per gallon, are passed on to the consumer.

Famous quotes containing the words fuel and/or hawaii:
“I had an old axe which nobody claimed, with which by spells in winter days, on the sunny side of the house, I played about the stumps which I had got out of my bean-field. As my driver prophesied when I was plowing, they warmed me twice,—once while I was splitting them, and again when they were on the fire, so that no fuel could give out more heat. As for the axe,... if it was dull, it was at least hung true.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“One can think of life after the fish is in the canoe.”
—Hawaiian saying no. 23, ‘lelo No’Eau, collected, translated, and annotated by Mary Kawena Pukui, Bishop Museum Press, Hawaii (1983)
