Excellent E85 coverage! Stations are widely available throughout the state.
California dominates the U.S. E85 market with 596 stations—more than any other state. The Golden State's explosive growth stems from its groundbreaking Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS), high gasoline prices, and aggressive expansion by retailers like Pearson Fuels.
California's LCFS program—the world's first low-carbon fuel standard—drives E85 economics. E85's carbon intensity runs approximately 40% below gasoline, making it economically attractive. The program targets a 20% carbon intensity reduction by 2030.
Local ethanol production enhances California's market. Facilities include Aemetis Advanced Fuels Keyes (60 million gallons/year), Calgren Renewable Fuels in Pixley (55 million gallons/year), and Alto Ingredients in Madera (40 million gallons/year). These plants produce some of the lowest-carbon ethanol in America.
The LCFS generates credits for low-carbon fuels that benefit both retailers and consumers through competitive pricing. California is the only state that prohibits E85 conversion kits, so ensure your vehicle is factory-certified FFV.
