Louisville Thornton’s
joins America’s First Biofuels Corridor
On Wednesday, October 8, flexible fuel vehicle (FFV)
drivers took advantage of the E85 promotion which took place at the
Fern Valley Road Thornton’s Quick Cafe & Market in Louisville. The
event was part of a nation-wide AFV Day Odyssey celebration. A live
remote radio broadcast was held from 9 to 11 a.m. and 50 $10 E85 gas
cards were distributed to patrons. Local television crews were also on
hand to hear the benefits of the alternative fuel and took notice that
E85 was selling for 60 cents less than regular unleaded gasoline. This
Thornton’s refueling site is one of 25 along a four-state corridor
along I-65. A caravan of FFV’s drove from Southern Alabama to Northern
Indiana to celebrate the completion of America’s First Biofuels
Corridor.
