Columbia, SC -
The
Gervais Street Exxon, located at 1421 Gervais Street in
Columbia, South Carolina, will sell E85 for 85¢ per gallon
on Wednesday, October 6, 2004 from 7 a.m. until 10 p.m.
The station is the second in the state to sell the
alternative fuel.
The
one-day E85 for 85¢ promotional event will put E85 in the
spotlight and increase awareness of the availability and
benefits of using E85. After the event, E85 will be
available at a price comparable to gasoline. Agriculture
Commissioner Weathers will be on hand to dispense E85 at
10:00 am and Columbia Mayor Bob Coble will be on site at
5:00 pm.
Funding for the ethanol infrastructure provided through a
Supplemental Environmental Project (SEP) for community
Improvement structured from an $11.2 million fine levied
against Willamette Industries by the Environmental
Protection Agency. The SEP is designed to help clean up
the air in the State of South Carolina by funding the
installation of publicly accessible ethanol refueling
infrastructure.
The
Columbia station also carries unleaded fuel and will open
a diesel pump soon. The Exxon is open from 6:30 a.m. until
10 p.m. seven days a week. It also includes the pay-at-the
pump option, a convenience store, and two service bays for
quick lubes.
