South Dakota Corn Utilization Council Partners with Kwik Star to Promote Ethanol Blends in South Dakota

In March, the South Dakota Corn Utilization Council (SDCUC) and Kwik Star announced a partnership to promote the use of ethanol-blended fuel across eastern South Dakota. Through events at Kwik Star’s 11 South Dakota locations and ongoing educational efforts, the organizations are encouraging drivers to save at the pump with ethanol-blended fuels.

“We are thrilled to partner with SDCUC this spring to promote Unleaded 88 and the benefits of 15% ethanol,” Mark Meisner, Vice President of Marketing, Kwik Trip/Kwik Star said. “Fifteen percent ethanol provides a higher octane which burns cleaner and is good for the environment, and better for your wallet. It’s my fuel of choice.”

Tapping into Kwik Star’s growth in South Dakota, SDCUC looks to generate buzz around the increased availability of ethanol-blended fuels while saving South Dakotans money.

“As Kwik Star’s presence in South Dakota continues to grow, we look forward to partnering with them to grow South Dakotans’ utilization of ethanol blended fuels,” said Amanda Bechen, Senior Director of Communications and Marketing, SDCUC.

Throughout the spring, Kwik Star and SDCUC are running a joint educational campaign across Kwik Star’s South Dakota service area and events promoting the cost-saving benefits of ethanol blended fuels. Learn more about UNL88’s benefits at FuelUpSD.com.
