With 10 E85 stations, Cincinnati ranks among the best cities in Ohio to own a flex-fuel vehicle. The highway network — I-71, I-74, I-75, I-275 in particular — keeps stations accessible to both commuters and through-travelers. Speedway operates the bulk of the city's E85 retail, and Ohio's E85 availability is driven by two chains, Sheetz and Speedway, which together operate about two-thirds of the state's public stations, with Meijer and Casey's adding most of the rest.
Finding E85 in Cincinnati
Half of Cincinnati's ten E85 stations are Speedways and three are Thorntons; Casey's and hometown dairy-store chain United Dairy Farmers each have one. Look north first: Hamilton Ave has two Speedways (11620 and 11885), and Colerain Ave, W Galbraith Rd, E North Bend Rd, and Reading Rd each have a station, with the E Sharon Rd Thorntons up near I-75 in the Sharonville area. East-side drivers have a Speedway on Ohio Pike and a Casey's on Old State Route 74, and the UDF on Queen City Ave is the lone west-side listing. Nothing is listed downtown, so commuters generally fill up near home rather than near work.
Key highway access: I-71, I-74, I-75, I-275
