Connecticut's E85 infrastructure ranks among the nation's smallest, with just 3 stations serving the entire state. This northeastern market faces fundamental challenges including no local ethanol production and significant distance from Midwest suppliers.
Connecticut produces zero ethanol, requiring all supply to ship from the Midwest at substantial cost. The state's small geographic footprint limits infrastructure investment returns. High fuel taxes reduce E85's price competitiveness.
Connecticut requires ethanol content labeling on any fuel exceeding 1% ethanol. State agencies may claim up to 10% price preference when purchasing alternative fuel vehicles. However, current policy emphasis favors electric vehicles over biofuels.
Station locations cluster in southeastern Connecticut: Greenwich Shell near the NY border at I-95 Exit 3, Shell/Henny Penny in Waterford near I-95, and Naval Submarine Base NEX in Groton (may require military ID).
Central Connecticut (Hartford), the I-84 corridor, and the I-91 corridor have no E85 stations. The Waterford station reportedly dispenses E63 rather than true E85.
Know your stations and verify availability before visiting—call ahead. The Greenwich station is most accessible for I-95 travelers. Consider fueling in neighboring New York or Massachusetts if Connecticut options prove inconvenient. Planning trips through Connecticut?
