There are now seven retail stations in Kansas that offer E15 (15 percent ethanol and 85 percent gasoline). Several of the new stations are located in Olathe, Kansas, the first in a major metropolitan area. More stations are expected to open in the state within the next few weeks.

The new E15 stations are:

397 S. Parker St. (Intersection of K-7 & Santa Fe)
Olathe, KS

15310 S. Highway 169 (Intersection of I-35 & HWY 169)
Olathe, KS

1005 N. Pearl
Paola, KS

1415 W. 6th St.
Lawrence, KS

900 S. Iowa
Lawrence, KS

“When the last hurdle fell, the rollout of E15 picked up steam. Momentum is growing.  We are hearing from retailers in Kansas, Illinois, Iowa, South Dakota, Nebraska and other states eager to start offering consumers a new greener, more domestic choice at the pump,” said Robert White, Director of Market Development for the Renewable Fuels Association (RFA).

Earlier this week, the first station in Iowa began selling E15 in Marion, Iowa. Those retailers interested in selling E15 should download a free copy of the E15 Retailer Handbook.
