E85 Gas Stations in Detroit, MI

Detroit has 5 public E85 stations — a smaller footprint, but enough that a flex-fuel vehicle is practical here if you're willing to plan routes around the pumps. Meijer Express & Sunoco carries most of the network. I-75, I-94, I-96, M-10 (Lodge Freeway), M-102 (8 Mile Rd) is the main access corridor. Michigan's E85 network is essentially a two-brand story: Meijer Express gas stations and Speedway together account for roughly two-thirds of the state's public flex-fuel pumps.

Finding E85 in Detroit

Inside the Detroit city limits, E85 is mostly an 8 Mile Rd affair. Three of the five stations have 8 Mile addresses along the city's northern edge — two Sunocos (21435 W and 15 W) and a Meijer Express — and a second Meijer Express is on Grand River Ave on the far northwest side. The exception is the Speedway at 711 E Jefferson Ave, the only pump near downtown and the riverfront. That leaves large parts of the east side and southwest Detroit without a station, so many city FFV owners fill up in the suburbs; Warren, directly across 8 Mile, has five stations of its own.

Key highway access: I-75, I-94, I-96, M-10 (Lodge Freeway), M-102 (8 Mile Rd)
