Crosby’s and Reid Petroleum Launch First Local E85 Fuel Pump
Crosby’s and Reid Petroleum will mark an environmental milestone on Friday, May 15 with the launch of Bradford’s first E85 fuel station at the new Crosby’s site at 1002 East Main Street and Derrick Road in Foster Brook.
A ribbon cutting ceremony will mark the occasion at 2:00 p.m. that afternoon along with comments from General Manager and Vice-President of Crosby’s, Doug Galli, and the President of Reid Petroleum, Paul Quebral.
E85 is the term for motor fuel blends of 85 percent ethanol and just 15 percent gasoline. E85 is an alternative fuel as defined by the U.S. Department of Energy.
“We are very excited to be a part of the introduction of ethanol fuel into Bradford and McKean County. Crosby’s has always looked to the future in our store development and what we offer to our customers. Giving the people of McKean County the option to purchase a fuel that has been proven to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is another example of our focus on the future.” said Mr. Galli.
“For both environmental and economic reasons, there are an increasing number of flex fuel vehicles on the road throughout the U.S., including in Pennsylvania,” added Quebral. “Reid Petroleum has been supplying motor fuels throughout Western New York and Pennsylvania since 1922, and it is important that we provide E85 now as an option for this growing sector of customers. We are especially pleased to be doing so with our retail store division, Crosby’s.”
Photo and video opportunities for the media will be available. Several local dignitaries are expected to be on hand for the occasion as well.
It is important to note that not all motor vehicles are compatible with E85 ethanol fuel and motorists should check if their vehicle is a flexible fuel vehicle, prior to using E85. To learn more about E85 fuel, visit www.e85fuel.com.
