Hudson: Chicago pumped about E-15

The president of the Illinois Corn Growers Association says things are looking up for E-15 in Illinois.  Gary Hudson told Brownfield Ag News at the Illinois State Fair that he was part of a very positive meeting recently.  He says, “We had a good hearing up at the City of Chicago. They’re talking about implementing E-15 at every station, having at least one pump that will pump E-15. And, boy, Chicago’s always been a leader on cleaning up the fuel system and going to lower prices for their consumers.” The Corn Growers met with the Chicago City Council’s finance committee.

Tricia Braid, ICGA communications director, says Illinois currently has 10 stations offering E-15 as a stand-alone fuel,” adding, “It goes up if you include locations that have E15 in a blender pump.”
