Flex-fuel Vehicle (FFV) drivers in South Dakota who are looking to save money at the pump need look no further an upcoming event: 30-For-30. The South Dakota Farmers Union (SDFU) is hosting this #ethanol celebration where drivers who fill with Premium E30 (thirty percent ethanol, 70 percent gas) will receive 30 cents for each gallon of Premium E30 purchased.

The event is taking place on Thursday July 14, 2016 at the Shell Station in Mitchell, South Dakota located at 2160 Highland Way.

“Fueling up with 30 percent blend of ethanol not only saves folks money, but it supports South Dakota’s family farmers who market their corn to the state’s many ethanol plants,” said Doug Sombke, president of South Dakota Farmers Union. “Premium E30 gives drivers of all makes and models a higher octane, renewable fuel resulting in increased fuel economy without the dangers of Benzene, a carcinogenic used to increase octane levels.”

SDFU Communications Specialist Kecia Beranek added that the organization has been and will continue to be a strong advocate for the ethanol industry because she stressed, “We’re a grassroots organization who is focused on supporting family farmers and ranchers.” And it’s these farmers who are producing the feedstock to feed and fuel Americans.
