Farm News: E-85 Gas Savings In West BendcommentsPosted: 06.22.2011
Before you hit the road this fourth of July weekend, stop by the Wingate BP station in West Bend to fuel up with E85 for just 85cents per gallon.
Salute your red, white and blue by purchasing a locally produced, renewable, clean fuel for the bargain price of 85 cents per gallon Thursday, June 30, from 4:00-6:00pm at the Wingate BP station at 2825 E. Washington Street West, Bend, WI.
E85 is a cleaner burning fuel, which is why it is an official Clean Air ChoiceTM of the American Lung Association of the Upper Midwest. It reduces ozone-forming pollutants by 20% and carbon monoxide by 40%. A typical Flex Fuel Vehicle (FFV) driver can prevent 4 tons of lifecycle CO2 and other pollutants from entering our air every year by fueling with E85 instead of gasoline.
Because E85 is made with up to 85 percent ethanol, it has many other added benefits, including reducing our dependence on foreign oil and supporting local economies. Ethanol is a renewable resource most commonly produced from corn that is grown right in Wisconsin and across the country.
The 64th Alice in Dairyland, Katie Wirkus will be on site with her very own FFV to help customers pump E85. As Wisconsin’s official agricultural ambassador, Alice educates consumers on our state’s $59 billion diverse agricultural industry.
The event is sponsored by the American Lung Association in Wisconsin Clean Air Choice® program, Wingate BP and the Wisconsin Corn Promotion Board.
