This report presents the status of the Federal Methanol Fleet Project as of January 1986. A methanol fleet was established on November 1, 1985, at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory in Berkeley, California. Phase I activities of the Army Methanol-Fueled Administrative Vehicle Program, involving four security vehicles at the Presidio in San Francisco, have been completed; and Phase II, in which 24 vehicles will be used at Fort Ord, California, is well underway. House bill H.R. 3355 has been introduced to promote greater use of methanol as a transportation fuel. It has been proposed that methanol is the best solution to the US oil import vulnerability.
