"This is an important achievement the entire state can celebrate," said Joey Roberson-Kitzman, coordinator of the North Dakota Clean Cities program. "As the number of stations has grown and more people have become aware of the benefits of using E85, we have seen steady growth in sales. It proves that people will choose a cleaner-burning fuel when given the opportunity."

E85 can only be used in "flex fuel vehicles" (FFVs) that are built to use either E85, gasoline, or other high-ethanol blends. There are more than 41,000 FFVs registered in North Dakota. The American Lung Association in North Dakota recognizes E85 as a Clean Air Choice that flex fuel vehicle drivers can make today to reduce their impact on air quality and lung health.
