Looking Back at 2025: Pearson Fuels’ Growth and What’s Ahead for E85 in 2026
December 31st, 2025
As 2025 comes to a close, we’re reflecting on another year of growth for Pearson Fuels and looking ahead to what’s next.
This year reinforced what we already know: drivers want affordable fuel options, station owners want dependable partners, and California’s future in fuel depends on solutions that work statewide.
Key Celebrations:
- In 2025 we supplied our 450th station, expanding access for flex fuel drivers statewide
- 23,700+ new Pearson Fuels app users, helping drivers quickly find E85, check prices, and navigate to stations
- Celebrated E85 day on Aug. 5 with 267 stations offering E85 at $1.85 for 24 hours
- California motorists saved more than $1 billion at the pump by choosing E85
These milestones reflect continued investment in infrastructure, partnerships with station owners, and a growing awareness that many vehicles on the road today are already built to use E85 — with no modifications required.
Helping Drivers Navigate Volatile Fuel Prices
Fuel price instability remained a reality throughout 2025 for California drivers. Refinery outages, supply disruptions, and regulatory requirements continued to impact gasoline prices.
E85 offered flex fuel drivers a more affordable option at the pump with pricing that consistently offered savings.
Making E85 More Accessible
Beyond physical expansion, Pearson Fuels continued developing tools that support everyday drivers.
In 2025, the Pearson Fuels App helped over 20,000 drivers:
- Locate nearby E85 stations in seconds
- View real-time pricing
- Get directions and plan fuel stops with confidence
As more drivers learn they already own a flex fuel vehicle, tools like the Pearson Fuels App play a key role in turning awareness into action.
What’s Ahead in 2026
Momentum from 2025 is carrying into 2026.
In 2026, Pearson Fuels will continue to focus on:
- Opening more E85 stations, expanding access in new regions and underserved markets.
- Enhancing driver awareness and digital tools, making E85 easier to understand and easier to use.
- Educating policymakers and regulators about how E85 conversion kits can help more Californians access cleaner, more affordable fuel.
- Supporting station partners to expand their client base.
- Advancing cleaner fuel solutions that align with California’s long term energy and air quality goals.
While the convenience and fuel industries continue to evolve, Pearson Fuels remains focused on delivering solutions that benefit drivers today.
Thank You for Being Part of the Journey
We’re grateful to the station owners, partners, and drivers who made 2025 a year of progress. Reaching the milestone of 450 stations (and counting) is only possible through collaboration and shared commitment.
We’re excited for what’s ahead in 2026, and we look forward to continuing to grow the E85 network together.
Here’s to another year of fueling your drive with savings, power, and sustainability.
