• Model year 2001 and newer medium-duty passenger vehicles (SUVs). 

It cannot be used in:

• On-highway and nonroad motorcycles;
• Vehicles with heavy-duty engines, such as school buses, transit buses, and delivery trucks;
• Nonroad vehicles, such as boats and snowmobiles;
• Engines in nonroad equipment, such as lawnmowers and chain saws; or 
• Model year 2000 and older cars, light-duty trucks, and medium-duty passenger vehicles.

According to Kwik Trip, Joel Hirschboeck, Kwik Trip’s general manager of fuel procurement and marketing, commented on the decision to add E15 to its fuel portfolio: “At Kwik Trip, we pride ourselves on offering consumers a first-class experience at our convenience stores. Part of the value we can provide consumers is through offering them an array of choices at the pump. Adding E15 was an important step for us. It’s a clean-burning, high performing fuel that also delivers savings when drivers pull up to the pump. Providing the best options for consumers is certainly important to us, and E15 fits in very nicely with that goal.”
