Statewide Iowa — The executive director of the Iowa Renewable Fuels Association, Monte Shaw, says it appears more people are turning to ethanol-blended fuels to save money.
He says just about anyone can use blends like E-15.
He says E-85 vehicles will often have a yellow gas cap or sticker on the window that says they can use the 85 percent ethanol-gas mix. The E-10 mix is the one most used in cars right now. Shaw says retailers have different pricing for the ethanol blends.
He says you will find more options for different mixes of ethanol-blended gas in the larger cities.
Shaw says there’s a tool to help you find the stations on their website at: iowarfa.org.
Shaw says you can also check the owner’s manual of your car and it will tell you what type of fuel works in your car or truck.
