Wal-Mart May Start Pumping Ethanol

There is a rumor that Walmart may start pumping inexpensive blends of Ethanol and gasoline in the near future.

“The National Corn Growers Association was one of those attending, and its chief executive, Rock Tolman, said a decision by Wal-Mart to offer E-85 would help solve one of the emerging industry’s problems: not enough availability for consumers.

More than 5 million vehicles on the road can run on the blend and car manufacturers say they are making more models that can use it. Yet the fuel is sold by just over 600 retailers across the nation, mainly independents rather than chains.”
