Ethanol: Fueling Fun This Summer

This contest has ended. Winners will be announced soon. Thank you for fueling your fun this summer with E15. 
$500-1

Make the most of your summer!

In the summer of 2022, an emergency waiver granted by the Environmental Protection Agency allowed E15 fuel to continue to be sold across the United States during the summer. E15 fuel is usually not sold from June 1 through September 15 because of outdated concerns about emissions.

The E15 waiver last summer saved families sixteen cents per gallon on average, and up to nearly one dollar per gallon in some areas of the country. That meant more money in the pockets of American families at a time of economic uncertainty.

The EPA took action again this year, allowing uninterrupted access to E15 in the summer of 2023. By using E15, not only will you save money, you'll be saving the planet from extra emissions. Wherever you are heading, there's an E15 station along the way to fill up! 

NO PURCHASE OR PAYMENT OF ANY KIND NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. PURCHASE WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING. Open to legal residents of South Dakota, 14+. Void where prohibited. Ends 8/31/23, 11:59:59 PM CST. Sponsor: South Dakota Corn Utilization Council, 4712 S Technopolis Dr, Sioux Falls, SD 57006.

Ethanol doesn't harm your car's engine - or your fuel efficiency.

Today’s vehicles are designed to run on gasoline blended with small amounts of ethanol (15% or less) with little effect on fuel economy.

Ethanol product delivers a net energy gain.

Improved farming techniques, more efficient use of fertilizers and pesticides, higher yielding crops and more efficient conversion technologies have made ethanol a net energy producer. This means the energy content of ethanol is greater than the fossil energy used to produce it. That’s good news for our farmers—and good for the planet.

Ethanol production is not the driver of food prices.

Critics of biofuels promote a theory that ethanol “eats up” food supplies, but the truth is that the increasing demand for biofuels allows farmers to invest in efficiencies to better utilize existing cropland, allowing them to supply more food and energy. The real driver of food prices is the cost of crude oil. Ethanol production only utilizes the starch in each kernel, while the rest of the fat, fiber and protein goes into animal feed in the form of distillers grains. The reality is that the bioprocessing plant concentrates nutrients into one of Americas largest sources of animal feed.
