The Circle K / 76 station located off the 215 at Ramona Expressway has been selling Pearson's E85 for a couple months now. For some reason, the are not doing enough (if any) press about this and NOBODY knows about it. There is zero E85 signage and, unless you knew where to look, you would not know they offer E85.

I spoke with Manager (broken English to say the least) and they do not seem too into making this any bigger. I asked about a promotional price day, TV/Radio/Print Media coverage and they just stare at me like I'm an idiot.

What a shame as I have personal knowledge of at least one owner in the Hemet/San Jacinto/Menifee area who would love to sell E85 and will dedicate to it's success. Problem is no one will work with him (Pearson / Propel / etc) at this time due to economy.

Anyway...still waiting for the Beaumont Chevron to open. When in the area, spend some time trying to talk some sense into the Perris store owner. For info they also offer racing fuels for all you wanna-be dragster types. [/b]

Just heard a rumor from an E85 customer of Perris....He spoke directly w/the fuel tanker driver who noted that the owner is considering shutting down the E85 pumps......Is this true?

Granted, I don't know them, but they do not seem to into the whole movement or want any part of advertising/supporting E85. I could be wrong...to be honest, I don't even know if they are the actual owners, but they act like they present themselves to be
