Ethanol sales double in North Dakota; blender pumps credited

In North Dakota, ethanol-blended fuel sales have almost doubled from last year. Data from the State Tax Department shows that the number of barrels sold has gone from 663,000 to 1.3 million in the last year. This jump correlates with a program run in North Dakota whereby retailers have been provided with a $5,000 grant incentive for each blender pump installed.
