Kroger will offer VeraSun’s branded E85, a blend of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline, for flexible fuel vehicles at 20 different locations in and around the Dallas and Houston metro areas of the US.
With the addition of the 20 VE85 fueling locations in Texas, VeraSun now has more than 140 retail fueling stations in 13 states and the District of Columbia. With the addition of the Texas locations, VE85 is now available at 44 different Kroger fueling locations in four states.
Bill Honnef, senior vice president of strategic initiatives for VeraSun, said: The combination of an established Kroger brand with our emerging VE85 brand is important as we continue to expand to new markets. There is a growing demand for E85 in the US as the number of flexible fuel vehicles on our roads increases, and having a partnership with a national retailer like Kroger adds tremendous value to our initiative of increasing overall E85 availability.
