Johnston, IA—The Iowa Renewable Fuels Association’s (IRFA) E85 Wholesale Price Listing Program is available at: www.iowarfa.org/E85PastPriceProgram.php.

In Iowa, E85 is a fuel blend containing between 70% and 85% ethanol, depending on the season. “E85 can easily be found for under $1 per gallon in wholesale markets throughout Iowa,” stated IRFA Executive Director Monte Shaw.

“As gasoline prices remain low, it is more important than ever for retailers to do their due diligence when selecting an E85 supplier.”

The IRFA publishes Monday’s wholesale E85 prices every Tuesday.

E85 suppliers wishing to have their price posted should contact T.J. Page with the IRFA at 515-252-6249 or [email protected].

To be eligible for listing, the supplier's price must: be publicly posted elsewhere; be available to any retailer or supplier; not be restricted by gallonage caps.

E85 is defined in state law as a blend of between 70% and 85% ethanol with gasoline.

Iowa is the nation’s leader in renewable fuels production.

Iowa has 43 ethanol refineries capable of producing more than 3.8 billion gallons annually, including 22 million gallons of annual cellulosic ethanol production capacity and one cellulosic ethanol facility currently under construction.

In addition, Iowa has 12 biodiesel facilities with the capacity to produce nearly 315 million gallons annually.

The Iowa Renewable Fuels Association was formed in 2002 to represent the state’s liquid renewable fuels industry.

The trade group fosters the development and growth of the renewable fuels industry in Iowa through education, promotion, legislation and infrastructure development.
