The Savannah River Plant, which is operated by the Du Pont Company for the Department of Energy, is successfully operating automotive and nonautomotive gasoline-powered equipment on a 3% methanol/97% unleaded gasoline blend. A test fleet of 50 vehicles began using the methanol/gasoline blend in March 1982, and following positive results, the remainder of the plant fleet began recording mileage on the blend fuel in June 1982. The plant fleet contains approximately 750 automotive and 250 nonautomotive units; and in six months, approximately 2.2 million miles have been driven using the blend fuel. (ERA citation 08:010178)
