Desert Crossroads for Flex Fuel

New Mexico offers 33 E85 stations scattered primarily across the Albuquerque metro area. The Land of Enchantment ranks in the bottom third nationally for E85 availability.

Why E85 in New Mexico

New Mexico has zero ethanol production facilities—all E85 must be trucked in from Midwest corn country over 700 miles away. The state's arid climate doesn't support corn cultivation; instead, New Mexico leads in chile peppers and pecans.

State Incentives

New Mexico enacted the Clean Transportation Fuel Standard (CTFS) in March 2024, targeting 20% carbon intensity reduction by 2030 and 30% by 2040. This creates a credit marketplace that should incentivize E85 infrastructure expansion. The program launches by February 2026.

Where to Find E85

Maverik and Pic Quik are the primary E85 retailers. Albuquerque has the densest coverage, with additional stations in Las Cruces and Rio Rancho. Santa Fe, Roswell, Carlsbad, Farmington, and Gallup have no E85 stations.

Coverage Gaps

Northern New Mexico including Santa Fe and Taos has no E85 access. Eastern New Mexico from Clovis to Carlsbad lacks stations entirely. The I-40 corridor has significant gaps between Albuquerque and Texas. I-25 north of Albuquerque to Colorado is essentially E85-free.

Pricing Context

E85 typically runs $2.09-$2.50 per gallon, representing roughly a 20-30% discount versus regular gasoline—hovering near the break-even threshold.

Practical Tips

Las Cruces residents can easily access El Paso, Texas for E85—it's just 45 miles south with multiple stations. Fill up in Albuquerque if you're heading anywhere north or east. Colorado offers better E85 options along I-25 heading north.
