America's Undisputed E85 Leader

Minnesota isn't just the best state for E85—it's in a league of its own. With 374 stations offering E85, the Land of 10,000 Lakes has held the #1 spot for over two decades. For flex fuel vehicle owners, Minnesota is as good as it gets.

Why E85 in Minnesota

The answer lies in corn, policy, and genuine cultural commitment. Minnesota introduced ethanol into transportation fuel in 1997—eight years before federal requirements. The state mandates E10 in all gasoline and became the first to require B20 biodiesel during summer months.

Ethanol Production

Minnesota's 18 ethanol plants produce over 1.4 billion gallons annually, ranking 5th nationally. Ten of these plants are farmer-owned cooperatives, meaning profits flow directly back to rural communities. The Minnesota Corn Growers Association has invested over $30 million in ethanol infrastructure.

State Incentives

E85 enjoys a favorable tax rate of just $0.2025 per gallon compared to $0.285 for regular gasoline. The AGRI Biofuels Infrastructure Grant Program continues adding stations, with nearly $9.5 million awarded since 2021.

Where to Find E85

Coverage is exceptional across the state. Kwik Trip, Holiday/Circle K, and Casey's offer E85 at numerous locations. The Minnoco brand—created specifically to promote Minnesota biofuels—pioneered E15 availability in 2013. I-94 alone has 85+ E85 stations from the Wisconsin border to North Dakota.

Coverage Gaps

Interstate highway coverage is outstanding across I-94, I-35, and I-90 corridors. Twin Cities metro residents find E85 within minutes virtually anywhere.

Pricing Context

Minnesota's E85 typically runs $0.70-$0.80 cheaper per gallon than regular gas—among the best spreads nationally. The break-even point is around 20% discount—Minnesota consistently exceeds this.

Practical Tips

For FFV owners, Minnesota represents the gold standard—reliable availability, competitive pricing, and a state genuinely invested in ethanol's future. E85 content varies seasonally for cold-weather reliability.
