Gasohol Surges as Big Business in United States

Gasohol, a 90 percent gasoline and 10 percent ethanol blend, is expanding beyond small tests as major oil firms like Phillips Petroleum, Standard Oil of Indiana, Amoco, and Texaco launch programs. While some analysts doubt it will reshape fuel supply, hundreds of stations nationwide sell it, mainly in the Midwest. Ethanol is mainly corn based, boosting domestic sourcing but raising costs, and tax exemptions aid dealers. Energy Department projections in 1985 show only about 1 percent of gasoline could be gasohol at best.

Hitch, president of the foundation, says higher real costs are unavoidable but not decisive.
