PHILLIPSBURG — Fill Up, Give Back kicked off Nov. 1 and lasts through the end of the year. For every gallon of E15, E20, E30 and E85 sold at USA Clean Fuels in Phillipsburg, 3 cents per gallon will be donated to the Phillips County Sheriff’s Office.

USA Clean Fuels has partnered with the sheriff’s office to promote the benefits of using higher blends of ethanol, while allowing the public to actively give back to our local law enforcement.

The mission of the Philips County Sheriff’s Office is to enhance the quality of life in Phillips County by working cooperatively with the public and within the framework of the U.S. Constitution to enforce the laws, preserve the peace, reduce fear and provide for a safe environment.

“We drive more miles {using higher blends} than most people in Phillips County, we’re proud to help promote the benefits of ethanol at USA Clean Fuels,” said Sheriff Charles Radabaugh,

“E15 is EPA approved for vehicles 2001 and newer – about nine out of 10 vehicles on the road today. Multiple studies have shown mid-level blends, E20-E30, to be the most economical, high octane fuel choice that offers a boost in engine performance. E85 is the best choice for your flex fuel vehicle, which are specifically designed to run on E85, gasoline, or any mixture of the two. Choosing higher blends of ethanol supports your neighbor corn farmer, positively impacts your local economy and promotes cleaner air through an up to 50 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Ethanol also replaces harmful carcinogens and toxic additives like methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) and benzene that can be found in petroleum-based fuels,” USA Clean Fuels said in a news release. “The choice is an easy one. Fill up at USA Clean Fuels on east highway 36, and during the months of November and December your purchase will give back to the individuals that work to ensure our safety, day in and day out.”
