Now, neighboring communities Bal Harbor and Boca Raton have completed their own testing periods. Bal Harbor Mayor Howard Berlin, along with the City Council, confirmed that the city's test vehicles showed a 12.6% improvement in fuel economy along with a reduction in harmful emissions -- as measured in opacity -- of 34%. Bal Harbor will be using Ethos FR® in all city vehicles, effective immediately.
In the nearby city of Boca Raton, a four-month testing period on municipal vehicles has also yielded excellent results. Boca Raton has authorized a purchase order to supply Ethos FR® for all city vehicles for one year.
Patrick Glennon, president of Ethos Environmental East, Inc., said, "We are very excited that these cities have seen the benefit of using Ethos FR®. This is an area of the country with high expectations for air quality and these cities have recognized that by using Ethos Fuel Reformulator they can bring immediate improvement to their environment and save on fuel budgets too. We commend the cities of Bal Harbor and Boca Raton for their extensive testing, and we look forward to continuing our service to them."
Ethos FR® is an ester-based fuel reformulating product that reduces harmful emissions while improving both fuel mileage and engine performance. Ethos FR®'s ability to integrate easily with existing fueling infrastructures makes it both an effective and realistic pro-environmental step that can be implemented by companies and municipalities of all sizes.
