In the United States, 24 new stations began offering E85 or gasoline blended with 85 percent ethanol, bringing the total number of stations offering this blend up to 139 this year. E85 is available to all flex-fuel vehicles.
The opening of new E85 stations came a week after the release of an Iowa State University study that finds it feasible to meet 2014 and 2015 biofuel mandates with expanded E85 consumption given existing numbers of flex vehicles and stations that sell E85.
"E85 is in high demand and growing as retailers begin to see the advantages of offering the high level blend at their stations," said Robert White, director of market development at the Renewable Fuels Association. "The price savings can be seen across the country as more and more drivers demand additional fuel options and cheaper prices at the pump."
The average E85 price in Minnesota is $2.64/gallon compared to the $3.42/gallon average gas price today.
