The Flex Fuel Fairness Act of 2023, also known as Bill 118 s 2635, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The main goal of this bill is to promote the use of flex fuel vehicles and increase the availability of alternative fuel options for consumers.

One of the key provisions of the Flex Fuel Fairness Act is to require automakers to produce a certain percentage of flex fuel vehicles each year. These vehicles are capable of running on a blend of gasoline and ethanol, which is a renewable and more environmentally friendly fuel option. By increasing the number of flex fuel vehicles on the market, the bill aims to reduce the country's dependence on traditional gasoline and promote the use of alternative fuels.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions to expand the availability of E85 fuel, which is a blend of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline. This would involve increasing the number of E85 fueling stations across the country and providing incentives for gas stations to offer this alternative fuel option to consumers. By making E85 more accessible, the bill aims to encourage more drivers to switch to alternative fuels and reduce their carbon footprint. Overall, the Flex Fuel Fairness Act of 2023 is focused on promoting the use of flex fuel vehicles and alternative fuels in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote a more sustainable transportation system. If passed, this legislation could have a significant impact on the way Americans fuel their vehicles and contribute to efforts to combat climate change.
