FuelWise, replaces its E85 dispensers with ethanol-free gasoline supplied by Hyperfuels, increasing its daily sales by 650%.

650% increase in sales

FuelWise is a service station that offers regular, mid-grade and premium fuels, with or without diesel. In early 2022, the service station will replace its E85 dispensers with a premium ethanol-free gasoline supplied by the Hyperfuels Group. It offered ethanol-free fuel to its customers last month.

FuelWise reports a 650% increase in daily sales over historical E85 sales. Hyperfuels Group predicted a 300% increase in sales. However, the results obtained are double the forecast.

Ethanol-free gasoline popular

Jess Hewitt, owner of Hyperfuels states:

“E85 sales are historically low due to its reduced energy content (30% less than E10 gasoline). The addition of premium ethanol-free gasoline allows consumers to choose a fuel that is not hygroscopic, does not attract moisture, and has better energy content.”

Hyperfuels has specialized in high performance fuels and fluids since 1998. The group is located in Houston and ships products nationwide.

Hyperfuels supplies major groups such as Elf Racing, TotalEnergies, PureFuels or SynDlesel GTL Diesel. FuelWise has a station with a 460 m2 store. It is located in Harris County, Texas
