Fuel prices in California are known for swinging dramatically, often broaching or even hitting the $5 per gallon mark. For drivers, that means filling up their tank can quickly become a major expense. Enter E85. 

For many, driving is a necessity that our careers and everyday lives hinge on. Filling up your gas tank shouldn’t be a stressful monthly, or even weekly, expense. On average, E85 in the Pearson Fuels network is $1.50–$2.00 cheaper per gallon than traditional gasoline. For the typical California driver, that translates to nearly $375 in annual savings — and for supercommuters, as much as $745 a year. In a state where gas prices rank among the nation’s highest and many regions lack reliable public transportation, those savings make a real difference.

Cost isn’t the only reason to choose flex fuel. Flex fuel is also better for the planet, since ethanol burns cleaner than gasoline with fewer lifecycle GHG emissions. For drivers of performance vehicles, E85’s higher octane levels make it ideal for getting the most out of your engine.

With prices that stay well below California’s unpredictable gasoline spikes, E85 gives you a fuel that’s not only budget-friendly, but also eco-friendly and performance-ready.
