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). Of the total gasoline and ethanol–blended fuel sold in the state in December 2022, 90.1 percent was an ethanol blend. The market share for ethanol–blended fuel is shown in Figure 1 and the data table below on a monthly basis. In Figure 1, it can be seen that February 2023's percentage is in the upper half of the five–year range, above the five–year average, and above February 2022's percentage.
