GM Orders `Fill 'er Up With Ethanol,' and Detroit Adds Pumps

May 12 (Bloomberg) -- General Motors Corp.'s drive to put ethanol-based fuel in the tanks of more U.S. cars and trucks may transform Detroit's neighborhood gas stations and its drivers into pioneers in the use of the gasoline alternative.

Wayne County, which surrounds Detroit, is trying to attract an ethanol refinery.
