85 minutes of free E85 fuel tomorrow morning in Madison, Wisconsin

Filed under: Ethanol, Flex-Fuel, GM



Tomorrow (Friday the 26th) morning, bewteen 7 a.m. and 8:25 a.m., one gas station in Madison, Wisconsin (actually in a Madison suburb) will be giving away E85. First-come, first served. The exact location is mentioned in the GM press release after the jump.

Why a press release from GM on this giveaway? Because it's GM that's footing the bill as part of the "Fuel for Thought" tour. The free (to the driver) fuel is due in part to a Wisconsin law that says that the price of fuel can change just one time every 24 hours. While the usual M.O. for these ethanol publicity stunts is to lower the price to 85 cents or so for a few hours, the law prevents that in this case (and you know the stations don't want to sell it that cheaply for an entire day) . Therefore, GM decided to go the free gas route this time.

As for that name, "Fuel for Thought," I'm sure many of our readers have their own thoughts on ethanol, no? Still, if you're in Madison tomorrow morning with a flex-fuel car, might as well fill up for free.
