Governor's ethanol coalition announces grand opening of E85 pumColorado The Governor's E85 Coalition and Colorado corn Growers Association are celebrating the recent opening of three new alternative fuels pumps at the Agland, Inc. Cenex station located at 2449 35th Avenue in Greeley. The station will carry E85, a blended mixture of 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent unleaded gasoline. It is the second location in Greeley to carry E85. The Agland station at 1607 2nd Avenue has been selling E85 since 2001. "The CCGA has partnered with Agland to make E85 more readily available to consumers who drive Flex Fuel Vehicles," said CCGA CEO Mark Sponsler. "Through our partnership at the 2nd Avenue location, we have seen the growth in demand for E85. We are proud to offer another location for drivers to refuel on E85 in Greeley." Across the USA, over 6 million flexible fuel vehicles can use E85. Alternative fuels bring environmental benefits to Colorado as they are cleaner burning than other transportation fuels. Increased usage of E85 will help reduce tail pipe emissions and increase America's energy independence. The event kicked off with several speakers and a ribbon cutting ceremony. Ed Lewis, from the Governor's Office of Energy Management and Conservation, Tom Selders, Mayor of Greeley and Dwight Leski, from General Motors were among the guest speakers at the event. Service stations interested in installing E85 pumps and tanks may be eligible for funding and marketing through the E85 Coalition, and may also be eligible for tax credits from the state and federal governments.
