Topic: E85 in Northern Sacramento Valley

[SacramentoE-85]

E85 is continuing to quickly spread throughout California.  According to this article, DMC Green is bringing E85, biodiesel, and EV charging to Yuba City, Live Oak, Chico, Redding, and Williams, CA.  This will be nice for me to not use much gasoline when I travel through there!

"Sutter County will soon be a stop along the alternative fuel highway.

Gas stations in Yuba City and Live Oak are in contract with alternative and renewable fuel proprietor DMC Green to install biodiesel pumps, E85 ethanol pumps and electric vehicle chargers later this year. Both sites are in the permitting process and should be in operation this fall, said Andy McCargar, director of market development and promotion.

"That's going to be a great location for us," McCargar said. "We're really focusing on the major travel corridors."

DMC is in contract with 50 additional sites, including Chico, Redding and Williams, that should begin installation within the next two months.

Availability and consistency of alternative fuel locations is important for those who depend on that fuel source, McCargar said. It dictates what travel paths they take, so the more stations in existence, the better."

"The market is constantly growing as the federal government mandates more of its vehicles must be flex-fuel, which run on gasoline or a mixture of up to 85 percent ethanol, and more consumers turn to alternative fuel vehicles, McCargar said. It is also anticipated that auto vehicle manufacturers may be required to produce 100 percent of their vehicles with flex-fuel capability."
