Supporting S.3485, the Dual Fuel Automobile Act of 2008, to require 50% of all light-duty vehicles sold in the U.S. to be Flexible Fuel Vehicles (FFVs) by 2011, increasing to 90% by 2013, allowing for more vehciles on the road to be able to run on higher blends of ethanol. Working in favor of H.R.2296 which would increase the number of Flexible Fuel Vehicles on the road, allowing more vehicles to be able to run on higher blends of ethanol. Working with Congress to encourage H.R.6559 which would require automobile manufacturers to produce no less than 80% Flexible Fuel Vehicles that can run on higher blends of ethanol and other fuels. Working in favor of S.1321 which contains multiple components that would increase ethanol availability, use, and further study on renewable fuels by creating grant programs and a pilot program for a refueling infrastructure corridor for gasoline blends containing renewable fuel. Supporting S.2306 which would encourage and facilitate the use of renewable fuel in the US by requiring increased percentages of Flexible Fuel Vehicles to be produced and to help ensure the installation of renewable fuel pumps. Working with Congress on H.R.6734, the E85 and Biodiesel Access Act of 2008, which would provide greater incentives to convenience store owners to install renewable fuel dispensing pumps. Worked to ensure that the whole pump, not just the portion that pertains to E85, be included in these programs.
