This Decision at the Pump Could Change Everything
Lindsay Mitchell
There has never been a better time to choose unleaded 88 unleaded 15, or E15 fuel at the pump.
Gas pumps aren’t unlike grocery stores, offering an abundance of choices – some of which you may not really understand. So, we tend to go with what we know and opt for “regular” gas out of habit. But what happens when you choose something different?
You fill up with a fuel that’s better for your world, better for your vehicles and better for your budget. Made from Illinois corn, UNLEADED 88, UNLEADED 15 or E15 provides a clean-air alternative with less GHG emissions than petroleum-based fuels.
“We’re all feeling the pressure of inflation. The good news is, we have an immediate savings option at the pump with UNLEADED 88 or E15. This fuel type contains 15 percent ethanol, which means it’s also a renewable energy source grown by corn farmers like me,” said Marty Marr, farmer in New Berlin, IL.
Let’s clear up the confusion:
E10 (UNLEADED 87) = 10% ethanol and 90% gasoline

E15 (UNLEADED 88 or UNLEADED 15) = 15% ethanol and 85% gasoline

E85 (Flex Fuel) = 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline
