Ethanol Postal Trucks Not Working Out In SF
SAN FRANCISCO (CBS 5) ―
An eco-friendly choice has not been working out as planned for the U.S. Postal Service in San Francisco. Dozens of flex-fuel mail trucks are stuck using gasoline, because there is still no supply of E85 ethanol.
The Postal Service began delivering flex-fuel trucks back in 1999, expecting ethanol to become widely available. Nine years later, it has become a gamble that has not paid off. So far, the closest commercial E85 station is in Los Angeles.
