Welcome!
Are you ready to do something about the high
price of gasoline and our nation’s addiction to oil?
Welcome to the official clubhouse and website
of existing and future Flexible Fuel Vehicle (FFV) owners. The
Flexible Fuel Vehicle Club of America is here to help you and
the millions of other educated and concerned consumers trying
to change America’s energy future by demanding and using
more renewable transportation fuels. According to Merrill Lynch
the increased production and use of ethanol has already lowered
gasoline and crude oil prices by 15%. The free market has
been freed again! Your leaders heard your call for action
and put you back in the driver’s seat with a new energy
bill. We can help you take advantage of this historic opportunity. Are
you ready to help you?
Call them what ever you like – Flex-Fuel, Variable-Fuel,
Dual-Fuel – but they all can run on up to 85% ethanol. Flexible
Fuel Vehicle (FFV) is the official term used in the Energy
Independence and Security Act of 2007 which was designed to
increase the production and use of renewable transportations
fuels in our country in order protect your personal energy,
economic, and environmental security, and many of our national
freedoms. Are you ready to support those who are supporting
you?
Some very noble organizations just focus on environmental
protection without much regard for other very important and
related issues including consumer limitations (e.g., not everyone
can own a Prius or afford a Hybrid) economic impacts or national
security. National surveys show the majority of Americans
are also concerned about energy and national security, terrorism,
the economy, their financial security, the stock market and
their 401K, war, their children’s future, and the continuing
turmoil over oil reserves located in the Middle East.
While others just complain about the lack of
progress and want to fight over a shrinking finite supply of
world crude oil supplies, FFV Club members are focused on replacing
gasoline and imported oil TODAY with existing automobiles and
alternative fuel production technologies in the marketplace – we
don’t have to wait for anyone any longer. What are you
waiting for and who do you think is going to help you?
Actions speak even louder than emails and letters. Your
consumer muscle needs to be flexed, fueled, recognized, and
counted. We are going to help rally you and the other
seven million FFV owners and drivers (federal/state/private
fleet drivers) on the road today and show the thousands of
consumers in automobile dealership showrooms right now they
can do something to help improve their lives and the future
of their children. Do you have an FFV or are you thinking
about purchasing one? Our website can help you.
Why buy an FFV and use E85? After 30 years of
research and development, ethanol production and use has been
proven to be an effective public policy and alternative fuel.
This proven success is in spite of the constant media attacks
and intense political debate from those trying to protect status
quo and keep competing fuels out of your neighborhood. Owning
an FFV and using E85 immediately puts you in control of your
energy destiny and improves the legacy you leave the next generation.
How? The U.S. Congress passed the Energy Independence and Security
Act of 2007 and the president signed it on December 19, 2007.
This new bill moved the 30-year complain and blame debate from “does
America really need alternative fuels?” and the chicken
and egg whine from “what should come first the alternative
fuel or the alternative fuel vehicles?” right into your
hands and those of every driving consumer. It’s
now up to you. If FFV owners don’t take action
we may head backwards. You are back in the driver’s
seat, so don’t put it in reverse!
Industry, government, academia, and consumer
activists have worked together to move the nation from “alternative
fuels of the future” to having the choice to buy these
fuels and vehicles at a retail store near you. I am sure
you have heard probably heard propaganda about ethanol from
the competition. Are you read to learn the facts about
the costs and benefits of ethanol? Our website can help you.
If you have an FFV, or if you are going to buy
and FFV, you are holding the key to America’s energy future.
By purchasing an FFV and using E85 you will help unlock the treasure
chest that holds the $500 billion dollars consumers now send
out of our country to buy crude oil and imported gasoline.
Are you committed to leaving a great legacy of good jobs, cleaner
air and national freedoms? The FFV Club will be instrumental
in proving once again that consumers always have the final
say when it comes to public policy and what sells in their
neighborhood stores – including your local gasoline station.
Do you need E85 near you? Our website can help you.
How will you know you are making a difference? We can
count the ways! FFVs sold (jobs created), E85 used (barrels of
oil saved), biofuel plants built (tax dollars saved), and the
number of FFV Club members like you who care enough to know –
and then act with social responsibly. We have all heard
those famous words many times “Ask not what your country
can do for you – but what you can do for your country.” Today,
owning and FFV and using E85 is “What you can do for your
country – and yourself.”
How can we help you? By putting the power of consumer
choice back in your hands.
Tired of Just Complaining?
Join the Club!
Thank you and I look forward
to working with you.
