Minneapolis, May 17 - The Minnesota Bio-Fuels Association (MN Bio-Fuels) and KS95 FM held a joint E15 promotion at the Bona Brothers Minnoco station in Fridley yesterday.

During the hour-long promotion, drivers who fueled up with E15 (Unleaded 88) were rewarded with prizes such as $20 in cash, tickets to Minnesota United, tickets to the St Paul Saints, Applebee’s gift cards and KS95 merchandise. 

“We were pleased to continue our partnership with KS95 to promote Unleaded 88 yesterday in Fridley. As the summer driving season begins, higher ethanol blends are the best choice for saving money and reducing air pollution,” said Brian Werner, executive director at MN Bio-Fuels.

The promotion was held from 12 pm to 1 pm. The Bona Brothers Minnoco station is located at 5311 University Ave NE in Fridley.

Yesterday’s promotion was the third time MN Bio-Fuels and KS95 have teamed up at a station in the Twin Cities metro this year to promote E15. The previous two promotions were held at stations in Golden Valley and White Bear Lake. 

Meanwhile, according to the Minnesota Department of Commerce, 27.4 million gallons of E15 was sold in the first quarter of 2023, up 21.3 percent from the same period in 2022.
