At the HEB off Parmer/I-35 in North Austin. Regular unleaded was selling for $2.80 gal. Which means I saved .40 cents a gallon. Paid $34 dollars for 14.1 gallons. Which is great for my 2007 Chevy Tahoe which is averaging 13 city/17 hwy. Compared to the original sticker when I bought it,which CLAIMED 16 city/20 hwy!!! Say what you want but I'm gonna give it a try. Only certain vehicles can run on E-85,check out the website below to see if yours is capable. Good luck!! American fuel from the Midwest and NOT the Mideast!!!
E85 is the term for motor fuel blends of 85 percent ethanol and just 15 percent gasoline. E85 is an alternative fuel as defined by the U.S. Department of Energy. Besides its superior performance characteristics, ethanol burns cleaner than gasoline; it is a completely renewable, domestic, environmentally friendly fuel that enhances the nation's economy and energy independence.
Today, the U. S. imports more than half of its oil, and overall consumption continues to increase. By supporting ethanol production and use, U.S. drivers can help reverse that trend. 85% ethanol can reduce pollution. Government tests have shown that E85 vehicles reduce harmful hydrocarbon and benzene emissions when compared to vehicles running on gasoline. E85 can also reduce carbon dioxide (CO2), a harmful greenhouse gas and a major contributor to global warming.
Although CO2 is released during ethanol production and combustion, it is recaptured as a nutrient to the crops that are used in its production. Unlike fossil fuel combustion, which unlocks carbon that has been stored for millions of years, use of ethanol results in low increases to the carbon cycle.
Ethanol also degrades quickly in water and, therefore, poses much less risk to the environment than an oil or gasoline spill.
