US: Convenience store Mountain Express to sell E15 in 10 Georgia locations
The Mountain Express convenience stores chain, in partnership with Protec Fuel, has started offering an 88-octane E15 blend at two stations in Atlanta and eight more will be added shortly all within Georgia, Protec Fuel said in a press release issued January 27.
The stations will also sell E85 fuel and B20 biodiesel fuel, which makes these convenience stores big players in emissions-reducing, renewable fuels.
E15 ethanol blend can run in any 2001 and newer gasoline engine and costs less than regular gasoline, the statement said. Both of the Atlanta stores already operating are open 24 hours. “Currently, and typically, both E15 and E85 are selling for less than regular gasoline,” it said.
Protec Fuel, based in Boca Raton, Florida, specializes in turnkey ethanol programs for retailers, fleets and fuel distributors and services include site selection, the company said.
