B10-Wednesday, June 18, 1980 - North Shore News | WINNIPEG (UPC) - Mohawk Oil plans to produce and market gasohol in Manitoba before the end of the year, the company announced Thursday. regular president Mohawk’s 12 provincial outlets for the same price as gasoline, Mohawk Donald Skagen “*"Gasohol offers motorists auto The gasohol - 90 per cent unleaded gasoline and 10 per cent anhydrouus’ ethyl alcohol - will retail at less carbon and soot buildup on moving parts, cooler engine performance, less engine wear and a higher exhaust emissions, he added. At current gasoline prices, the alcohol in the gasoline mixture is more expensive than the gasoline it replaces but a provincial tax exemption will make gasochol competitive, Skagen said. The government's waiving of a 4-cent-a litre gas tax will also encourage alcohol production in Western Canada for motor fuel, he added. Mohawk plans to produce the ethyl alcohol at an unused distillery, owned by Gooderham and Worts Ltd., at Minnedosa, about 240 kilometers west of here, and ship it by truck to the company’s terminal in Winnipeg to be blended with gasoline. Skagen market said company research shows gasohol should win con- sumer acceptance in Manitoba and become in- creasingly popular in the n xt few years as oil prices increase. “It's a good quality fuel,” he said. “It burns clean and starts fast. “I’ve talked to people in the midwest states who say their cars run better on gasohol than on unleaded premium.” Mohawk’s decision to produce gasohol was prompted by limited refinery capacity and “unexpected market growth.” The oil company, the first in Canada to enter the gasohol field, has signed an Soviet auto plants stage strike LONDON (UPI) - Sovict workers at the Gorky automotive plant walked off their jobs last month to protest meat and milk shortages.
