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 2023, 88.8 percent was an ethanol blend. In Figure 1 and the data table below, the market share of ethanol–blended fuel is shown.
Monthly averages are available. The ethanol section of the Nebraska Energy Office's Energy Statistics has more information.
