Who Should Attend
- C-store or fueling outlet owners and operators who want to add E85 to their stations.
- Lenders who are issuing loans for E85 station enhancements.
- Jobbers who will supply E85 blends to retailers. Biofuel producers who seek partners to move E85 volume.
- Equipment manufacturers who wish to learn the latest technology developments.
Why You Should Attend
With a growing number of E85 vehicles on the road, and only a limited number of outlets to fuel them, the potential revenue from adding E85 to your station and capitalizing on consumer preferences for eco-friendly vendors is enormous. One day is all it takes for you to learn the ins and outs of turning this up-and-coming alternative fuel into a fast-growing profit center.
Dear Colleague,
America’s driving habits have been dramatically altered in recent years by high prices, environmental concerns and a growing sense that each gallon purchased somehow strengthens our country’s enemies.
Federal and state lawmakers have tapped into this changing mood and have pushed through massive programs aimed at boosting the availability of alternative fuels. E85 (85% ethanol and 15% gasoline) is at the forefront of that effort.
Each year the fleet of flexible-fuel vehicles (FFVs) capable of burning E85 grows by leaps and bounds. Now, more than 7 million FFVs are on the road in the U.S. However, there are still less than 1,900 retail stations to serve them.
That’s a potentially huge market opportunity for fuel retailers and wholesalers who know how to successfully purchase, blend, handle, price and market E85.
That’s why OPIS is pleased to once again offer its comprehensive one-day E85 Profit Center Workshop, June 5, 2009 at the Millennium Knickerbocker Hotel in Chicago. Only our course offers you a complete “how to” learning experience for successful E85 and greater than E10 retailing.
Fuel pump makers are teaming with oil suppliers to offer consumers their choice of greater than E10 blends. Motorists will be able to dial in what mixture of ethanol and gasoline they’d like to buy. Savvy retailers will be able to diversify their product offering in ways designed to maximize profits and customer satisfaction, building loyalty and your “green” image.
We’ve lined up the best instructors available to give you a top to bottom picture of the potential for E85 and greater than E10 sales.
Automakers, federal and state governments, fleets, environmentally-conscious consumers, and price- watchers are all demanding more E85 than ever before. Be ready to give them what they need while boosting your bottom line.
I hope to see you in Chicago!
Sincerely,
Robert Gough
