Flex-fuel drivers in North Aurora work with 5 E85 stations. That's modest coverage, but the I-88 (with I-90 via Randall Rd) corridor keeps them reasonably grouped. Thorntons is the most common operator. Illinois exempts E85 from state sales and use tax through December 31, 2028, which meaningfully narrows the gap to regular gasoline at the pump. Call ahead for any station you haven't visited before — small markets see more occasional outages.
