new E85 stations in Michigan
E85, which some view as automotive fuel of the future, will soon be available at about 20 Meijer stores in Michigan.
Meijer Inc. and General Motors Corp. will announce today, with Gov. Jennifer Granholm, plans to make the ethanol-gasoline blend E85 available at Meijer filling stations.
More than 4 million flexible-fuel vehicles on the road are capable of burning E85 or gasoline or a combination of the two. However, most owners fill up with regular gasoline because of a shortage of filling stations offering the fuel.
Only five stations in Michigan sell E85, a blend of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline, reports the National Ethanol Vehicle Coalition.
Some owners don't even realize that their vehicle is capable of running on E85.

1. My new vehicle is E85 compatible
and there's a station within two miles of my work that carries E85. I plan on taking advantage of it often.
