Let ExxonMobil know how ethanol "fuels you"
Want a chance to win $1,000 in free fuel and let one of the world’s largest oil companies know how important homegrown renewable fuels like ethanol are to you? Then enter ExxonMobil’s “What Fuels You? contest.
All you have to do is upload a photo of yourself next to an example of “what fuels you?” You are to include a 140-character caption that finishes the sentence, “I’m fueled by…” Entries that pass ExxonMobil’s review process will appear online for voting. Each week, the the entries with the most votes win $1,000 in Exxon and Mobil fuel.
The odds are probably good that the bigwigs at ExxonMobil will filter out any references to ethanol and renewable fuels during the review process, but why not give this a shot? It might turn out to be a great way to potentially promote homegrown biofuels to millions of people.
Picture ideas include blender pumps, your flex fuel vehicle, or an ethanol plant. Shots of you working on your farm to harvest food, feed, fiber and fuel for a growing world population would also be good.
Be sure to highlight the importance of homegrown biofuels like ethanol in your caption. Sample captions include:
- “I’m fueled by American-made, high-octane ethanol.”
- “I’m fueled by a better economy provided by renewable fuels, like ethanol.”
- “I’m fueled by lower cost of fuel provided through homegrown choices at the pump.”
It only take a few minutes to enter and you could make a major impact. Good luck!
