The world's first chopper to run on E85 fuel was raffled off last Saturday during the half-time of the Iowa vs. Iowa State football game.

Dubbed "Renewable Energy Chopper" and built by Orange County Choppers, it was won by Michael Murphy of Seymour, Iowa.

Note to Seymour, Iowa: we don't want to see any signs on your city limits saying, "Home of the E85 Chopper".


The Iowa Farm Bureau, who commissioned the chopper, donated the raffle proceeds and summer-long donations amounting to $113,357.51, to the "Clean Air Choice" program, a program of the Iowa American Lung Association.

The "Clean Air Choice" program promotes the use of E85 fuel, which the entire State of Iowa is banking on to boost their economy.
