Circle K set to join ethanol stampede in Florida, Kinder Morgan may lead SE charge

摘要

C-store chain Circle K is preparing to start offering ethanol-blended fuel at some of its C-stores in Florida, Oil Express sources say.rnAn E-10 blend is expected to make its debut at Circle K proprietary-brand stores around Jan. 15, which should allow the Canadian-owned company to make a tidy profit from the federal 5. 1cts/gal tax credit for ethanol fuels. Most of the company's stores in the Sunshine State are branded with Shell, which has not given its marketers approval to splash-blend because of concerns with state volatility regulations.rnOfficials with the company's Gulf Coast regional office decline to comment on the matter.
