GM To Provide E85-Capable Chevrolet Avalanche For Use In South Dakota
Partnership With South Dakota Corn Growers Association Promotes Ethanol As Alternative, Renewable Fuel
General Motors will provide an E85-capable Chevrolet Avalanche to the South Dakota Corn Growers Association for use in the state as part of a campaign to promote ethanol and E85-capable vehicles in the state. The vehicle keys will be presented to Governor Mike Rounds at the Sioux Empire Fairgrounds.
The announcement is part of a campaign by GM and the Governors' Ethanol Coalition (GEC), a bipartisan group of governors devoted to the promotion and increased use of ethanol. This collaborative effort is designed to increase awareness of ethanol and flexible fuel vehicles, and to promote the increased use of E85 as a renewable, alternative transportation fuel that is able to meet the demands of today's drivers.
