South Dakota county going E30 to support local ethanol industry

In South Dakota, Brown County is taking up Glacial Lakes Energy’s E30 Challenge and will develop a plan to run the county’s fleet on E30. The company has been running vehicles tests for the past two years on E30 that show fuel economy is the same or better than with E0 but is $3 to $5 per tank cheaper. The tests used vehicles from model years 2004 to 2016. The county sees the move as in investment in the major role the local agricultural economy plays in the area.
