Sheetz is helping to provide relief for consumers during the dog days of summer by offering Unleaded 88 (E15 or 15% ethanol blended gasoline) for just $2.99 a gallon through the remainder of August. The national average price for regular gasoline right now is $3.84 per gallon, according to AAA.

Renewable Fuels Association President and CEO Geoff Cooper welcomed the news last week. “Summer may be ending, but American families are still on the road, and we thank Sheetz for this innovative effort to promote ethanol’s great cost-saving benefits,” said Cooper. “Ethanol has been selling for about a dollar per gallon less than gasoline this summer, at wholesale terminals where fuel is blended. We applaud Sheetz for passing along the benefits of E15’s lower cost to consumers—and thereby supporting renewable fuels and the rural economy.”

Sheetz is based in Altoona, Pennsylvania with over 700 stores located in Central and Western Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Maryland, Ohio, Virginia, and North Carolina, with plans to expand into Michigan.
