2024 another record year for E15 sales in Minnesota

2024 was another record year for E15 sales in Minnesota.

Minnesota Biofuels Association executive director Brian Werner says new data from the Department of Commerce shows more than 140 million gallons of Unleaded 88 were sold during the past calendar year.

“And more importantly, at a 17-cent price spread from regular unleaded. That amount of gallons sold actually saved Minnesota consumers $24.2 million at the pump.”

He tells Brownfield it was also a record year nationally.

“Nationwide last year we reached a record of 1.24 billion gallons, which was an increase of 11 percent over 2023.”

And Werner says he’s hopeful 2025 will be an even bigger year for Unleaded 88 sales in Minnesota and the U.S.
