General Motors is looking to get American drivers talking again about its FlexFuel range of vehicles and the potential of E85 ethanol. Now the company is ready to put its money where your gas tank is.

While Los Angeles has some of the highest fuel costs in the country, on February 26th, from noon to 2:00 p.m., the Conserv Fuel station at 11699 San Vicente Blvd. in Brentwood will be offering the ethanol gasoline mixture for a scant 85 cents per gallon. Better yet, GM is planning to pick up the tab.

GM believes that biofuels show some of the greatest promise when it comes to reducing the use of petroleum-based products. So the company is sponsoring the E85 promotion, as a means to raise awareness of the fuel, as well as getting in a decent plug for there own range of eco-happy cars and trucks.

The moral of the story is, if you’re one of the 46,000 FlexFuel empowered vehicle drivers in the L.A. area next Tuesday, get down to Brentwood and have a tank on The General.

FlexFuel Vehicle Promotion Targets Ethanol Infrastructure GrowthBRENTWOOD, Calif. – The rising price of gasoline is hard to avoid in Los Angeles, but owners of the more than 46,000 FlexFuel vehicles capable of running on E85 ethanol are about to get a break this Tuesday – paying only 85.9 cents a gallon for the cleaner, alternative fuel.

On February 26th from noon to 2:00 p.m., Conserv Fuel at 11699 San Vicente Blvd. in Brentwood will offer E85 ethanol for 85 cents a gallon.

And General Motors is paying the bill.

GM is sponsoring the promotion to help raise awareness about the first station in Los Angeles to offer E85 ethanol, and to encourage drivers of FlexFuel vehicles to use this cleaner, renewable fuel instead of gasoline.

“At GM, we believe the biofuel with the greatest potential to displace petroleum-based fuels and help reduce tailpipe carbon gas emissions in the United States is ethanol, and so we have made a major commitment to vehicles that can run on E85 ethanol,
