Whether you’re stopping at a Bosselman Energy cardlock or another location, when fueling up in Nebraska, here's what you need to know.
1. Most gasoline sold in Nebraska contains ethanol; a renewable fuel made from corn.
2. The numbers on the buttons at the pump represent octane levels.
87 Octane = Standard fuel for most vehicles
88 Octane = Also known as E15 (Unleaded 88), a budget friendly fuel option with up to15% ethanol
89 Octane = Mid-grade option
91+ Octane = Premium fuel for vehicles that require higher octane
3. Any 87, 89, and 91+ fuels can have an ethanol blend added and if so, it will be noted at the pump. Common ethanol blends include:
• E10 (10% Ethanol, the most common gasoline blend),
• E15 (Unleaded 88, up to 15% Ethanol), and
• E85 (Flex Fuel / 51%-83% Ethanol). Higher ethanol blends are often priced cheaper than lower-ethanol fuels in the Midwest.
4. E15 is approved by the EPA for most vehicles made in 2001 or newer. E85 should only be used in Flex Fuel Vehicles.
