ABC Extreme Makeover winner gets flexfuel F-150 and a year’s supply of E85
Filed under: Ethanol, Flex-Fuel
I wonder just how much money and time has been spent by national organizations promoting flexfuel vehicles - even though we all know that ᭉ fuel is pretty hard to find. Whatever the calculation, we need to add in the cost of a new F150 crew cab flexible-fuel vehicle (around $36,000) and a year’s worth of E85 (around $6,000). This was a bonus prize awarded to the Dirk Devries family in Minnesota, which recently won ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. The local Dave Syverson Ford is providing the vehicle and the Ethanol Promotion and Information Council (EPIC), along with local POET biorefineries, is providing the biofuel. According to the local paper, the Devries family hasn′t had it easy recently and a friend of the family submitted their story to the TV show for consideration. Along with a new home, a new truck might make things better for them. We’ll see how they feel when they have to pay to fill it up next year.
