Bismarck (CSi) – By choosing Unleaded88, a higher-octane fuel containing 15 percent ethanol and 85 percent gasoline, North Dakota drivers helped raise $2,350 for breast cancer awareness,

The fifth annual Pink at the Pump® campaign, is co-sponsored by the North Dakota Ethanol Council and North Dakota Corn Utilization Council.

Eighteen North Dakota retail stations offered Unleaded88 as they participated in this promotion by donating three cents of every gallon of Unleaded88 sold from Oct. 1 through Oct. 31 to North Dakota Women’s Way.

Susan Mormann, North Dakota Women’s Way director, says, “We are grateful to be the recipient of Pink at the Pump promotion. The funds will be used to extend our reach to women across North Dakota.” North Dakota Women’s Way provides a way to pay for most breast and cervical cancer screening services for eligible North Dakota women and promotes early detection of breast and cervical cancer through provision of screening services to eligible women.

Kent Satrang, Petro Serve USA CEO., points out that “Petro Serve USA stations across the state welcomed the opportunity to be part of this campaign for North Dakota. We are honored to contribute to Women’s Way knowing the great work it is doing on early detection of breast cancer.”

Tysen Rosenau, North Dakota Corn Utilization Council chairman, adds, “The North Dakota Corn Utilization Council is proud to be a partner in this effort,” says Ethanol is the world’s cleanest source of fuel octane. By choosing Unleaded88 during October, consumers fought breast cancer at the pump while directly supporting North Dakota’s corn farmers.”

Unleaded88 is a fuel blend containing 15 percent ethanol, just five percent more ethanol than E10, the most commonly used fuel in the U.S. Over the past year nationwide, Unleaded88 saved consumers an average of 16 cents per gallon. It is approved by the Environmental Protection Agency for use in all 2001 and newer vehicles, which make up more than 96 percent of the vehicles on the road today.
