WHAT: As gas prices stay near record levels, Kansas motorists can take advantage of bargain prices while pumping up the local economy at a pump promotion at TJ’s Convenience Store in Colwich, KS. on Monday, Aug. 18 from 6:30 a.m. – 8:30 a.m.

The promotion is being held to celebrate a major initiative that will be announced immediately following the pump promotion.

Consumers attending the promotion can fill their flex-fuel vehicles (FFVs) with E10, E20, E30 and E85 for a reduced price.

FFV owners will have a 40 cents discount on E20, 60 cents discount on E30 and E85 will be offered for just $1.85/gallon.

All drivers can save 20 cents per gallon on E10 fuel, approved for use in any gas powered vehicle or engine.

Blender pumps offer FFV owners more choices at the pump to get the best fuel economy while also helping make the air cleaner.

Ethanol blends over E10, like E20, E30, E40, E50 and E85 can only be used in FFVs. There are more than 7 million FFVs on the road today.

Immediately following the promotion, a joint press conference will be held to announce a major initiative between the Ethanol Promotion and Information Council (EPIC) and the Kansas Corn Commission.

Reporters will get a detailed look at the new initiative which will encourage infrastructure development, raise public awareness for higher blends of ethanol, and increase consumption of ethanol-blended fuel.

Speakers will include Robert White, deputy director of EPIC; U.S. Sen. Sam Brownback; Adrian Polansky, Kansas Secretary of Agriculture; Dave Vander Griend, president and CEO of ICM, Inc.; and Bob Timmons, chairman of the Kansas Corn Commission.
