Valparaiso offers 8 E85 stations, enough for reliable day-to-day use but sparse enough that most drivers settle into two or three regular pumps. Stations cluster along US-30, IN-49, US-6, IN-130. Family Express is the most common brand on the pump. Indiana is a major corn-belt ethanol producer, and E85 here is sold by a broad mix of chains — Speedway, Casey's, Family Express, Meijer, McClure Oil, and Thorntons — rather than any single dominant brand.
Finding E85 in Valparaiso
Valparaiso punches well above its population on E85 because it is the headquarters of Family Express, the northwest Indiana convenience chain that has made flex-fuel pumps a regular feature of its stores. Five of the city's eight stations are Family Express locations — Silhavy Rd, Calumet Ave, Burlington Beach Rd, State Road 130, and the South Haven store on US-6. Casey's adds two (Calumet Ave and Morthland Dr, which is US-30 through town) and Meijer Express has one on Porters Vale Blvd. Nearby Crown Point lists six more stations, so Porter and Lake County drivers are rarely far from a yellow handle.
