With just 8 E85 stations, Massachusetts represents the best New England has to offer for flex fuel drivers—which isn't saying much. Distance from Midwest ethanol production and limited state support have kept E85 infrastructure sparse.
Massachusetts sits 1,000+ miles from Corn Belt ethanol plants. Unlike petroleum, ethanol cannot travel through existing pipelines—it attracts water and is mildly corrosive. This adds $0.25-$1.00+ per gallon in transportation costs. There are zero ethanol production facilities anywhere in New England.
Massachusetts has focused policy attention and incentives on electric vehicles rather than biofuels, leaving E85 without meaningful state support.

Only factory-certified flex fuel vehicles (FFVs) should run E85. Check your Massachusetts 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.
