Pearson Fuels and G&M Oil Co. are celebrating their latest partnership with the grand opening of California’s newest E85 station at 499 Sandalwood Drive in Calimesa. There will be a ribbon-cutting celebration on Wednesday and E85 will be available from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. for just 85 cents a gallon. This event is part of a much larger announcement of the two companies. Pearson Fuels and G&M Oil Co. have announced 13 new E85 stations slated for California.
Robert White, vice president of industry relations at the Renewable Fuels Association, commented, “It is great to see the second largest flex-fuel vehicle (FFV) market get more E85 stations. RFA congratulates Pearson Fuels and G&M Oil Company for identifying the need to bring this low-cost, cleaner-burning, alternative fuel throughout California. Consumers are searching for options, and many will now find E85.”
E85 is approved for use in all flex-fuel vehicles and more than 3,400 stations are offering higher-level ethanol blends to consumers nationwide. Learn more at www.ChooseEthanol.com and www.E85prices.com.
