E85 Stations Continue To Increase, Reaching 2,354

The number of E85 pumps across the country finished out 2010 on a strong note, with 25 new locations added in December, bringing the total to 2,354.

I didn't keep track of the monthly totals at the beginning of the year because the numbers had somewhat stagnated and to be honest it was kind of depressing to just see a few added each month. So I can't really say what the total is for 2010.

The big change that caused the numbers to start moving again happened on June 24, 2010 when the first E85 dispensers received UL certification. As you can see by the numbers below, from May 1, 2009 through June 29, 2010, a span of almost 14 months, there was a total of 69 new E85 locations added. In the 6 months since certification, there has been 194 new locations added.
