South Dakota packs 71 E85 stations into a state of just 750,000 people, making it one of the nation's per-capita E85 leaders. As the 5th largest ethanol-producing state, South Dakota processes more corn into fuel than almost anywhere.
South Dakota was the first state to allow blender pumps and maintains approximately 100+ blender pumps statewide. Approximately 70% of South Dakota corn goes directly to ethanol production.
South Dakota operates 16 fuel ethanol plants producing approximately 1.5 billion gallons annually—accounting for 8% of total U.S. output.

Valero Renewable Fuels Aurora adds 120 million gallons.
The Ethanol Infrastructure Incentive Program (EIIP) provides grants up to $25,000 for first blender pumps and $10,000 for additional pumps. Senate Bill 78 (January 2025) established a 5-cent rebate per gallon of E15 sold.
