Availability
The number of stations in the United States that sell E85 is constantly increasing as station owners either add new E85 tanks or convert existing tanks and pumps. One database that encourages users to submit station locations and prices is called http://e85prices.com and lists, as of January 2011, over 2524 stations carrying the fuel in the United States.
- All data March 2008 from the Department of Energy and E85refueling.com. Links go to each state's list of stations; see notes below for caveats. For each state the total number of facilities is given. Numbers in parentheses are the number of publicly accessible facilities, when that number is less than the total in a state. Note: For updated locations, see http://e85prices.com As of January 25, 2011, there are now 2644 stations in the U.S. selling E85.

Minnesota has the largest number of E85 fuel locations of any U.S. state with close to 350 stations, while Illinois has the second-greatest number of E85 pumps with about 160. Although Minnesota has the most E85 pumps they only represent a tiny fraction of the total fuel outlets. According to Oil Price Information Service (OPIS) there are approximately 140,000 publicly accessible retail gasoline stations in the United States. (All filling stations in Minnesota are however required to sell E10, a mixture of 10% ethanol and 90% gasoline.)

Famous quotes containing the word availability:
“Since ... six weeks ago, there has been no day in which I have not had letters and visits on the subject of my nomination for the Presidency.... I say very little. I have in no instance encouraged any one to work to that end.... I have said the whole talk about me is on the score of availability. Let availability do the work then.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
