Why promote Fuel the Cure? Fuel the Cure is a campaign special to Nebraska that raises money for breast cancer research and educates drivers about healthier fuel options using ethanol. Nebraska is also the No. 2 producer of ethanol in the country!
Fuel the Cure kicks off Oct. 1 every year and participating retailers will donate 3 cents toward cancer research and services within the state for every gallon of higher ethanol blend sold between Oct. 1-31. In the past five years, Fuel the Cure has raised more than $45K.
Ethanol-Blended Gasoline: Good for You, Good for the Environment
Gasoline blended with ethanol isn’t just a cleaner fuel; it’s healthier for you and the environment. Traditional gasoline contains toxic aromatics, such as BTEX, which make up 25% of a gallon of gas. These aromatics pose health risks when inhaled at the pump, from vehicle exhaust, and as greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Ethanol, with its high-octane value, allows oil refiners to reduce aromatic content in gasoline by at least 5%. This percentage increases significantly when using higher ethanol blends like E15 and E30. As the No. 2 producer of ethanol in the nation, Nebraska is leading the way in providing eco-friendly fuel options.
Fueled by Nebraska will lead the promotion of Fuel the Cure via its website and Facebook page. The 49 Fuel the Cure gas stations will also be promoting the campaign, as well as Nebraska’s ethanol producers. We encourage you to share content on your organization’s platforms from Fueled by Nebraska and its partner pages.
