Ethanol-Blended Fuel Consumption
In Nebraska, most ethanol is sold in a blended fuel—10 percent ethanol with 90 percent gasoline (called E–10) or 85 percent ethanol with 15 percent gasoline (called E85). The reports on motor gasoline consumption and the total of both motor gasoline and ethanol–blended fuel consumption have additional information in relation to ethanol–blended fuel consumption.
Annual Data
As reflected in Figure 1 and the data table below, ethanol–blended fuel consumption in 2024 was 789,057,999 gallons, which was a decrease of 3.4 percent from consumption in 2023 of 816,583,000 gallons.
Monthly Data
As shown in the data table below, ethanol-blended fuel consumption in May was 70,974,460 gallons. This was 1.8 percent more than a year ago and 6.2 percent higher than a month ago. In Figure 2, May 2025 consumption was above May 2024's consumption, above the five–year average, and close to the upper boundary of the five–year range.
