Washington D.C. has zero public E85 stations despite hosting massive federal vehicle fleets theoretically required to use biofuels. FFV owners must travel to Virginia or Maryland suburbs for E85 access.
D.C. is a fully urban environment with no agricultural production, no ethanol facilities, and extremely high real estate costs that limit gas station development. The District focuses almost exclusively on EV infrastructure (321+ charging stations). Federal fleet E85 requirements exist but are routinely waived due to fuel unavailability.
D.C. has some E85-relevant policies: AFV Infrastructure Tax Credit provides 50% of equipment/labor costs up to $10,000 for publicly accessible AFV stations. AFV Conversion Tax Credit covers 50% of conversion costs up to $19,000/vehicle. Clean Fleet Requirements mandate 70% of new light-duty fleet purchases be clean fuel vehicles.
There are no E85 stations in D.C. The nearest stations are in Northern Virginia (Woodbridge, Manassas area) and Maryland suburbs. Within 25 miles, there are 13 E85 stations available; within 50 miles, there are 21.
The entire District is a coverage gap. Federal agencies receive EPAct Section 701 waivers due to E85 unavailability, despite legal requirements to use biofuels.
No local pricing available. Regional Virginia and Maryland pricing applies—typically competitive with 15-20% discounts versus regular gasoline.
Plan suburban fueling trips. Northern Virginia (Woodbridge, Manassas) offers the closest Sheetz E85 access. Maryland suburbs provide alternatives. For daily D.C. driving, use regular unleaded—E85 isn't practical without suburban access.
