Ethanol Days of Summer Free Fuel Contest

From Memorial Day through Labor Day, the Renewable Fuels Association (RFA) offers free fuel to participants for reporting prices of E15 and E85 as part of its annual Ethanol Days of Summer Free Fuel Contest.  

As our country is experiencing record fuel prices, everyone is looking for a break at the pump. Ethanol has been providing savings for years, but even more so this summer as the availability of E15 and E85 grows.

Each week, RFA will award $250 in free fuel.  There are two ways to enter and win:
