As reported on News Center 7 at 5:30, the gas station announced it has cut the price of unleaded 88 gas by 40 cents per gallon starting today, Nov. 19.

The promotion will last through the end of November.

Patrick De Haan with Gas Buddy explained not everyone can use this gas.

“The EPA has suggested 2001 and newer vehicles can fill up with this. But not every manufacturer is on board with that. So I would tell folks before they fill up with this to check their owner manuals to see if unleaded 88 or E-15 can be used,” De Haan said.

Unleaded 88 is also called E-15.

It contains 5 percent more ethanol than the most used fuel type — E-10.

People are already starting to take advantage of this deal.

“I always come to Sheetz for the 15 percent ethanol gas. It can be 20 or 30 cents lower sometimes than normal gas. As long as you don’t let it sit in cars that sit for a long time, you can save some money,” Alexander Parkson of Springfield said.
