Abstract | In 1997, eight E85 fuel pumps were installed at separate retail fuel stations in Minnesota to sell high-blend ethanol fuel to flexible fuel vehicle (FFV) owners. These state-level E85 efforts were part of larger federal and state policies and programs designed to promote the use of alternative fuels to displace traditional gasoline and diesel fuel. By the end of 2006, there were approximately 300 E85 fuel station locations. The amount of E85 fuel being used in the state was estimated at approximately 18 million gallons annually. Evaluating the sales patterns of E85 retail outlets can provide important information about consumer behavior regarding the use of E85, future E85 fueling infrastructure, and developing future alternative fuel policies and programs. |
