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10 percent ethanol was repealed.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. Ethanol could even help you offer a higher quality fuel
at a lower price to your customers. 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.
Please keep this guide to use as a resource when making your fuel decisions.
