Thorntons is excited to announce that on Black Friday, November 26, 2010 it will sell E85 flex fuel for 85¢ per gallon, from 7AM to 3PM at select locations in Kentucky and Indiana.
In Kentucky, the special price will be offered at the Fern Valley Road location in Louisville (off I-65) and the newest location on Elkhorn Drive in Lexington (off I-75/I-64 Winchester Rd Exit).
E-85 is an alcohol-based fuel, comprised of just 15 percent petroleum. Ethanol can be made from virtually any agriculture feedstock from which starch is derived, such as corn, sugar cane, wheat or milo. Today, the vast majority of domestic ethanol is produced from corn, grown in the Midwest and is an abundant and renewable grain.
E-85 as an alternative fuel has experienced tremendous growth in the last ten years. The growth is due primarily to the fuel's many benefits as a renewable fuel that helps create a cleaner environment, boosts the U.S. economy and reduces oil imports.
“We are very excited about the expansion of E-85 fuel in our stores and are promotion its availability to raise consumer awareness on savings as well as educating consumers on protecting our environment,” said Matt Thornton, Chief Executive Officer of Thorntons. “We support the use of ethanol, wherever it is economically available."
