When Decorah residents fuel up at the local Decorah Mart, they now have the opportunity to choose high-performance, earth-friendly E15.
&ldquo;E15 and E85 are growing in popularity in Iowa and we want our customers to have these high-quality fuel choices,&rdquo; said Craig Patel, manager of Decorah Mart.&nbsp; &ldquo;We&rsquo;re providing our customers with more value by selling E15 for 10 cents under E10 and they say they still enjoy the same fuel economy. And we want to be a leader in the community by offering earth-friendly ethanol blends that contribute to the local economy.&rdquo;
Decorah Mart, located at 303 College Drive, is the first gas station in Decorah to offer E15 and E85.
&ldquo;We are thrilled for Decorah to have its first-ever E15 and E85 refueling site,&rdquo; said Iowa Renewable Fuels Association Executive Director Monte Shaw. &ldquo;Higher-blends like E15 and E85 burn cleaner while boosting octane. We are confident Decorah residents are going to love these smarter fuels.&rdquo;
Decorah Mart received a cost-share grant from the Iowa Renewable Fuels Infrastructure Program (RFIP) to help upgrade their fueling infrastructure. RFIP grants can cover up to $50,000 in installation costs per project, with a five-year commitment to sell E15, E85 or biodiesel blends.&nbsp; Retailers interested in learning more about the program can <a href="http://www.iowaagriculture.gov/agMarketing/IRFIP.asp">click here.</a>
