USAgNet - 11/19/2019

Growth Energy announced that summer sales of E15 - a fuel with 15 percent renewable biofuel often sold as Unleaded 88 at the pump - are up 46 percent in 2019 compared to 2018 on a per-store basis.

Additionally, for the first time, this past summer saw the number of stores offering Unleaded 88 increase. Led by Casey's, the retail industry added 149 stores over the summer months. The 2019 summer driving season was the first summer Unleaded 88 was sold without restriction and this increase underscored the fuel's popularity with drivers who have logged more than 11 billion miles on it.

"Unleaded 88 provides American drivers unrivaled value at the fuel pump and the explosive growth in summer sales demonstrate what we've always known-once consumers have access to this engine-smart, earth-kind fuel they will come back again and again," said Growth Energy CEO Emily Skor. "With summertime sales already up 46 percent over last summer, we expect to see interest from retailers and consumers alike continue to grow."

Growth Energy works with leading retailers including Casey's, Cumberland Farms, Family Express, Holiday, Kum & Go, Kwik Trip, Minnoco, Murphy USA, Protec Fuel, Pump & Pantry, QuikTrip, RaceTrac, Royal Farms, Rutters, Sheetz, and Thorntons to give more drivers access to cleaner burning, high-octane Unleaded 88 at more than 2,000 stations across the U.S. These retailers sell between 2.2 to 2.5 million fuel gallons per year which amounts to over 200 percent more fuel gallons per year than what the average fuel retailer sells annually.
