What is the price of E85?
Response:
Typically, E85 is priced to be competitive with 87-octane gasoline. E85 should be less expensive than regular unleaded fuel; at least 20% below regular uleaded gasoline since one will receive a mileage reduction of 15-20% when using E85. The blender of record receives a tax credit on every gallon of ethanol he/she purchases thus being able to pass that savings along to his retailer who we hope pass that savings along to the customer. Unfortunately, the NEVC can not enforce a retailer to price the fuel.
