| About Iowans for Consumer Fuel Choice Iowans for Consumer Fuel Choice is a coalition of public, private, business and labor organizations that whole heartedly supports renewable fuels but vehemently opposes product mandates that manipulate our free market system and increase fuel costs for Iowans. Our mission is to protect the rights and interests of all Iowans by serving as the voice of reason for a responsible and fair marketplace. We believe biofuel mandates will adversely affect Iowa consumers, and they are not necessary. In 2006, our member organizations helped establish the Iowa Renewable Fuels Standard to encourage consumer demand and create the necessary infrastructure to market more renewable fuel in our state. This legislation has been effective and created a competitive market position for renewable fuels in Iowa. Advocates of the biofuel mandates have devalued current levels of biofuel consumption in Iowa, and claim that sales are declining. Based on the latest Iowa Department of Revenue fuel usage figures, E10 and E85 ethanol products represent 82.3 percent (1.269 billion gallons) of the state’s total fuel volume. Historical data from the Department of Revenue shows that Ethanol-blended gasoline has increased as a share of Iowa gasoline sales over the past 13 years, with E10 increasing steadily over the decade while E85 experienced the largest increase between 2005 and 2008. Iowa’s leadership position with renewable fuels must be driven first and foremost by public interest. At ICFC, we serve to protect the rights of Iowa consumers. |
