Kansas E85 availability rises to 21 stations

ABC 49 reports that 21 E-85 stations are now open for business in Kansas, up from four stations in 2004. Currently, E85 in Topeka sells for 22 cents per gallon less than gasoline, although the ABC report does not explain how much of that price advantage is due to ethanol price supports.

E85refueling.com reports that there are more than 1200 E85 outlets nationwide, but many of these are private refueling stations not open to the public. Biofuels Digest 2007 Oil Independence Report ranked Kansas fifth among all US states, with ethanol production and planned capacity equivalent to 46% of the state’s annual gasoline consumption.
