Denton, TX - Today, in an effort to increase fueling location options for flex fuel vehicle owners, Martin-Eagle Oil Company announced the installation of a new E85 refueling site located at their headquarters facility at 2700 James Street in Denton, TX. The new site will supply E85 to both retail customers and to wholesale accounts.Motorists operating flexible fuel vehicles can fuel up at the 2700 James Street location and take advantage of the cost savings of approximately 25 cents per gallon and use a domestically produced renewable fuel."We have made a significant investment to establish this new retail site adjacent to our office and look forward to offering E85 to other retail vendors through our wholesale operations, " said Stephen Martin, President of Martin-Eagle Oil Company. "E85 can only be used in flexible fuel vehicles that have been designed to operate on high level blends of ethanol, and we calculate there are more than 102, 000 FFVS operating in the metroplex. With only 6 current E85 fueling stations throughout the area, we anticipate significant demand for the product once motorists become aware of its availability."E85 is an alternative fuel that is comprised of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the use of E85 reduces a number of harmful tailpipe emissions, reduces the production of greenhouse gases, and advances national energy independence.
