VeraSun Energy Corporation, in partnership with General Motors, today announced the opening of the first E85 retail fueling location in Washington, D.C.

According to a company release, the VeraSun branded VE85™ is now available at the Georgetown Chevron and at the Navy Exchange station near the Pentagon.

“This partnership exemplifies the efforts being made to improve the availability of E85 in our nation.” said Don Endres, VeraSun’s Chairman and CEO.

Enterprise Rent-A-Car joined VeraSun and GM on this initiative by announcing that it is designating its premier rental location in Washington, D.C., as an official “E85/FlexFuel branch.” Owning the world’s largest fleet of FlexFuel Vehicles, with more than 41,000 cars and trucks, Enterprise is committing to fueling 50 GM FlexFuel vehicles from its location at 1029 Vermont Ave. N.W., at the Georgetown Chevron. The vehicles will also be stocked with materials about VE85™ and directions to the fueling location.
