Use Garmin or TomTom? Download e85 points of interests (POIs)

Share:
The Renewable Fuels Association today released downloads available to Garmin and TomTom GPS devices that allow you to import all e85 (85 percent ethanol, 15 percent gas) stations in the country to the device.

That means wherever you are in the country, your GPS unit can map out a route and guide you to the nearest e85 station to fill up your flex fuel vehicle.

To download the "points of interests" (POIs), go to ChooseEthanol.com.

“The most frustrating thing for many FFV owners is not knowing where they can fill up with higher level ethanol blends, like E85,” said RFA director of market development Robert White. “With this new feature, drivers going to the grocery store or to Grandma’s for Thanksgiving will know the exact location of the nearest E85 pump.”

White said RFA is working to bring this data to other navigation systems and will update station location data quarterly.
