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). There are ethanol-blended fuels in additional percentages that are included in the numbers below. 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 August was 69,821,157 gallons. This was 1.5 percent less than a year ago and 1.8 percent lower than a month ago. In Figure 2, August 2025 consumption was below August 2024's (last year's) consumption, below the five–year average, and in the lower half of the five–year range.
