DES MOINES (AP) - Governor Culver has signed a bill to help Iowa retailers pay for alternative fuel pumps.

The new law also encourages state and local government to use
biodiesel when its available.

The measure is designed to improve access to E85 and biodiesel pumps. Both are relatively rare in Iowa despite the state's status as a leading producer of the fuels.

Monte Shaw is executive director of the Iowa Renewable Fuels ssociation. He says there are thousands of flexible fuel vehicles
in Iowa, but only a handful of gas stations offer the fuel.
