Nebraska’s governor encourages E85 use

Nebraska Governor Dave Heineman is encouraging Nebraskans to use E85—the blend of 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent unleaded gasoline—the next time they fill up with a flex fuel vehicle.

“Our farmers are anticipating record corn yields, which makes it the perfect time to encourage consumers to utilize one of the many products made from that crop—ethanol,” Heineman says.

Heineman says E85 allows consumers to utilize a quality Nebraska grown and produced product.

“It allows us to continue to reduce our dependence on foreign oil, while enhancing local economies,” he says.

There are currently 86 E85 filling locations in Nebraska.  Heineman says new phone apps, including the “Flex-Fuel Station Locator” app, make it easy for drivers to find those locations.
