RFA says E15 now in St. Louis metro area

The Renewable Fuels Association (RFA) says E15 has made its debut in the St. Louis area where it will be available all year.

Home Service Oil company is offering both E15 and E85 at its Pevely, Missouri store, just off Interstate 55. The company operates nine convenience stores and plans to offer both blends at more of its locations in the next 60 days.

The RFA say Home Service Oil has partnered with it to bring E15 to its customers, using the USDA’s Biofuels Infrastructure Partnership (BIP) Program to help offset its infrastructure costs. St. Louis is a Reformulated Gasoline (RFG) market and is able to sell E15 year-round.

RFA says it “continues to work towards the removal of the nonsensical barrier that prevents E15 from being sold year-round in conventional gasoline markets,” which make up more than two-thirds of gasoline markets in the nation.
