More than 800 retail outlets offer E15 fuels across 29 states.
More Americans are using E15 – a fuel containing 15% ethanol and 85% gasoline – to fuel their cars, and as a result have helped the fuel reach a significant milestone.
According to Growth Energy’s ongoing analysis of fuel sales and consumption data reported by major gasoline retailers, drivers across the U.S. have logged more than one billion miles on E15—attesting to the fuel’s performance, safety and value.
“American drivers are taking advantage of the proven performance and environmental benefits E15 provides,” said Growth Energy CEO Emily Skor. “We’re proud to celebrate this milestone and highlight the value E15 delivers in terms of better performance, reduction of toxic emissions and savings at the pump.
Today, E15 is sold at more than 800 retail outlets across 29 states, and its availability continues to grow each day because 21st century drivers are demanding 21st century fuels.”
The Environmental Protection Agency approves E15 for use in any vehicle manufactured since 2001, which means nine out of 10 cars on the road today. Automakers also approve E15 for use in nearly three-quarters of new cars.
