High altitude creates unique advantages for E85 in Colorado. The state sells 85-octane gasoline as "regular" due to reduced air density. E85's 100-105 octane rating provides significant performance benefits for both stock and modified vehicles.
Colorado offers an Alternative Fuel Vehicle Tax Credit, a Corn Blender Pump Program funding stations dispensing mid-level ethanol blends, and a 2,000-pound weight exemption for E85-capable vehicles.
Colorado Springs leads with approximately 26 stations. Denver proper hosts 6+ stations with substantial coverage throughout surrounding suburbs. Major retailers include Kum & Go, Alta Convenience Stores, and Cenex-Agland.

Check your Colorado vehicle for a yellow fuel cap, a "Flex Fuel" badge, an E85 sticker inside the fuel door, or confirm via the owner's manual or VIN decoder. Using E85 in a non-FFV can damage fuel lines, injectors, and seals — see our full FFV identification guide.
