Kansas Fuel Retailers &
Drivers Pick Ethanol
On July 1, 2005, the law requiring labeling of fuel containing up to
10 percent ethanol was repealed. This gave fuel retailers new flexibility to
consider ethanol, a fuel additive that increases octane, burns cleaner and
is good for engines. Sales of ethanol-blended fuels
skyrocketed in late 2005. More and more retailers are finding
ethanol-blended fuels are a good match for their operations. Figures from
the Kansas Department of Revenue show the dramatic increase in E10 Unleaded
sales from July through October.
