Two Blender Pump Grand Openings Next Week in Neb.

Two new blender pumps have been added in Nebraska at Aurora Cooperative’s Aurora West A-Stop 24 and in Broken Bow at Trotter Whoa and Go. Grand openings for both will be held next week.

The grand opening of the Broken Bow pump will be held Mon., April 9 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Aurora grand opening will be on Wed., April 11 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Special promotions will be held in both locations at the events.

The new blender pumps are among approximately 60 in Nebraska to offer a variety of renewable ethanol fuel blends including E10, E30, and E85. To find a list of retailers that offer E85 and other mid-level ethanol blends, visit the Nebraska Ethanol Board website or check the Nebraska Corn Board website.

“Gas prices keep increasing. With ethanol being about a $1.00 per gallon cheaper than gasoline, flex fuel vehicle owners can save even more when fueling up with E85 and other mid-level ethanol blends at blender pumps,” said Kim Clark, Ag Program Manager with the Nebraska Corn Board.

“Consumer choice and ethanol fuel availability are a high priority with today’s gas prices,” said Todd Sneller, Nebraska Ethanol Board’s Administrator. “When flex fuel drivers fill up on E85, they’re strengthening Nebraska’s economy, making our country more energy independent and going easier on the environment,” Sneller said.
