Fact #549: December 15, 2008
Biofuels Corridor extends from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico

E-85 (85% ethanol, 15% gasoline) and B20 (20% biodiesel, 80% conventional diesel) are now available for the entire 886-mile length of Interstate 65 from Gary, Indiana, to Mobile, Alabama. The project began in 2006 and was completed in October 2008 with biofuel station locations in Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Alabama. Currently, it is possible to travel the entire length of I-65 and be no more than a quarter of a tank from the nearest E85 station.
