The state of North Dakota is now offering consumers gasoline blended with 15 percent ethanol or E15, making it the ninth state in the United States that offer this higher ethanol blend.
Six gasoline stations are now offering E15 in four cities. The fuel is approved by the Environmental Protection Agency for all cars and light-duty vehicles with a model year of 2001 or newer, as well as flex-fuel vehicles.
North Dakota Governor Jack Dalrymple and other ethanol backers announced the availability of E15 and encouraged other commercial fuel providers throughout North Dakota to make room at their pump stations for this fuel.
The Renewable Fuels Association has lauded the introduction of E15 in North Dakota, stressing that North Dakota drivers now have additional, cost-saving option at the pump.
The ethanol industry contributes more than $640 million annually to North Dakota's economy and supports more than 10,000 jobs. Since 2005, North Dakota's ethanol production capacity has increased from about 30 million gallons per year to about 377.5 million gallons.
