The United States Postal service is the second largest civilian employer in the country, after Wal-Mart. Over 650,000 are employed by the USPS, which utilizes some 260,000 vehicles. While 43,000 of these vehicles run on E85 fuel, they still manage to get an average of just 9 mpg. Pretty terrible gas mileage, and E85 made with today’s methods isn’t all that much better when it comes to carbon emissions anyway.<\/p>\n

Perhaps that is why the government is considering granting the USPS $2 billion to electrify 20,000\u00a0delivery\u00a0vehicles. And if there is any government agency that could benefit from electric vehicles, it is\u00a0definitely\u00a0the USPS.<\/p>\n
