Multi-media Ethanol Promotion Day

Jeff Simmons Pumping GasAnother day, another chance to promote ethanol. Most of my morning was working with Team Ethanol on a pump promotion in Kansas City. We braved the cold temperatures to bring some joy and information into the lives of consumers who came out to get some reduced price gas containing ethanol.

Team Ethanol car driver Jeff Simmons was on hand to help out too. Here he is pumping gas along with the rest of the crew. Jeff also signed autographs and even gave away a few tickets to the race.

I’ll be here in Kansas City all weekend working with the Ethanol Promotion and Information Council in various ways. I’ll be posting content onto AgWired and Domestic Fuel. In addition, I’m the still photographer and doing audio interviews like the one I’ve got for you here with Jeff Simmons. We’ll use the audio in the EPIC podcast, “Fill Up Feel Good.” I’m also shooting video and did one-on-one interviews with consumers and people like Jeff. You could definitely say it’s been a multi-media kind of day. I’m uploading all my photos to an online photo album which you can find here: 2007 Kansas Lottery Indy 300 Photo Album.

Jeff says he got good questions from consumers as he was pumping gas for them. He also says that he and his fellow drivers are extremely happy with the performance so far this year of their cars running on 100% ethanol.

Here’s my interview with Jeff:
