Everything's Bigger, Including E85

Texas operates 266 E85 stations, ranking among the top 10 states nationally. This massive market combines four ethanol plants producing 430 million gallons annually with retail giants like Kroger, H-E-B, and Murphy USA actively promoting E85.

Why E85 in Texas

Texas uniquely uses grain sorghum (not just corn) for ethanol production—the state ranks #2 nationally in sorghum with 89.9 million bushels in 2024. Texas leads the nation with 250,000+ registered FFVs.

Ethanol Production

White Energy operates two 150-million-gallon plants in Hereford and Plainview (both received EPA "efficient producer pathway" approval in 2023). The Levelland Hockley County facility uses gray water from the city. Texas ethanol ships to Dallas, Houston, Southern California, and global markets via Houston ports.

State Incentives

The Texas Emissions Reduction Plan (TERP) offers grants for E85/biodiesel/CNG infrastructure through the Alternative Fueling Facilities Program. State law requires agency fleets with 15+ vehicles to purchase AFVs capable of running E85, with 50% of covered fleets using alternative fuels at least 80% of the time.

Where to Find E85

Kroger operates 18+ locations in Dallas/Houston with strong E85 presence. H-E-B offers E85 in Austin, San Antonio, and Buda areas. Murphy USA maintains numerous Texas locations near Walmart stores. QuikTrip serves DFW and San Antonio. Valero (San Antonio-headquartered) and RaceTrac provide additional coverage.

Coverage Gaps

West Texas presents the biggest challenge—vast stretches with gas stations 80-100 miles apart and minimal E85 options. The Trans-Pecos region including Big Bend is extremely sparse. Highway 90 corridor and rural East Texas need improvement.

Pricing Context

E85 pricing has improved to approximately 25% below regular gasoline, largely due to Kroger's aggressive pricing. H-E-B maintains $0.30+/gallon discounts. These spreads exceed the energy break-even threshold.

Practical Tips

DFW, Houston, San Antonio, and Austin offer excellent E85 access—Kroger and H-E-B are your best bets. If traveling to West Texas or the Panhandle, fill up in major metros before departing. Download Kroger and H-E-B apps for fuel pricing and locations.
