Ethanol Blends Well With Summer

From motorists to boaters, the Renewable Fuels Association (RFA) is offering $250 of free fuel through their annual Ethanol Days of Summer Free Fuel Contest. Each week, they randomly select a winner from the participants who report the prices of E15 and E85 for vehicles, and E10 blends for marine engines. The contest runs from Memorial Day through Labor Day, and there are two ways to enter and win:

1. Submit prices to E85prices.com. Register for an account or log in at E85prices.com or use the E85prices.com mobile app. Submit retail station prices for higher blends of ethanol like E15 and E85.
2. Submit pictures of higher blend prices on Twitter. Pictures can be of the fuel dispenser or price sign and should include, at a minimum, regular unleaded (E10) and E15 and/or E85. Include the station name, city, and state. Tag @EthanolRFA and include the hashtags: #ethanol #E15 #E85 and #fuelprices (unless those words are already mentioned).

“RFA Vice President of Industry Relations Robert White says the popularity of the fuel giveaway contest has grown as the availability of higher ethanol blends has grown. ‘More than 5,700 stations are now selling E85 across more than 3,000 cities, and more than 2,900 stations in 31 states offer E15,’ said White.”
