Las Vegas comes up Aces with E85
One of the more suprising notes of April is Las Vegas now has 16 Stations selling E85. Simply amazing considering the desert location and not a corn field or ethanol plant within hundreds of miles in any direction. Their price spread has been in the 7% range which means most consumers in Las Vegas are actually not coming out ahead on price but that has not slowed the build out of E85 in the least. A tip of the hat to Las Vegas
The consumer fully understands that they will get less MPG and will accept that loss of mpg as long as E85 is priced accordingly.
Stations working directly with their local Ethanol plant are able to get the best wholesale price and able to keep the best prices at the pump.
Retailers call your local ethanol plant.
