E85 Service Station Locations in US

Further compounding these difficulties is the somewhat limited availability of

E85.

High distribution costs, mainly, restricts it’s use to a concentrated region in the

Midwest. (If you’re in Minnesota, you probably don’t have much of a problem

finding an E85 station, but the rest of us have to hunt around a bit to find them).

For future growth, obviously, this regional limitation must be overcome—either

through improved distribution means or, better yet, through utilization of more

diverse feedstocks.
