USA: Casey's General Stores to offer E15, E85 at the pump

Midwest convenience store chain Casey's General Stores starts offering ethanol fuel drivers.

Casey's General Stores, Inc. has announced it will expand consumer choice by offering higher ethanol blends of E15 and E85 at 17 sites in Illinois, Iowa, and Kansas.

E15 is a fuel that contains 15 percent ethanol and works well for any car manufactured in 2001 and newer. E85 contains up to 83 percent ethanol and is a choice for flex-fuel vehicle owners.

The retail chain boasts over 1,950 convenience stores across 15 states making it the nation's 4th largest and its adoption of higher biofuel blends is a boost for renewable fuel availability, especially across rural America.

"We like the potential that E15 and E85 could bring to Casey's and are excited to provide our customers with a wide variety of fueling options," said Terry Handley, President and CEO of Casey's.

Casey's joins Family Express, Kum & Go, MAPCO, Minnoco, Murphy USA, Protec Fuels, QuikTrip, RaceTrac, Sheetz, and Thorntons in offering their customers expanded fuel choices at the pump.
