Show May 1, 1981 i5 s Air Force cars and trucks will be filling up with gasohol in a Defense-wid- e effort to limit oil consumption, according to energy officials in Washington. Jim Lykins, base fuels officer here, said this base will not be affected by the effort at least until November of this year. He said last year the base solicited companies to submit bids to provide pfloims feir the base with gasohol but the effort was unsuccessful and a contract which runs until November 1981 was given to supply the base with unleaded gasoline. Gasohol is a mixture of unleaded gasoline and at least 10 percent alcohol which has existed since the 1930s. j Only recently did efficient processing methods and higher oil HILL TOP TIMES goslhl prices make gasohol profitable to produce. Mr. Lykins said there are no local companies producing gasohol in the amount required to supply the base with the product. ' The Air Force has drawn up a policy memorandum outlining five-poi- gasohol nt use. According to the memorandum, Air Force motor vehicles using unleaded gasoline will switch to gasohol when price and availability make it practical. The Air Force energy office said Page 11 Aos y(3ir alcohol fuels can contribute to reducing both motor gasoline shortages and the quantity of oil imported to the United States. Also, the Department of Defense is the single largest consumer of gasoline in the nation, averaging nearly six million barrels annually.
