The Sigourney BP, offering E10, E85 and B20, is one of many stations to take advantage of the Renewable Fuels Promotional Assistance Program sponsored by the Iowa Corn Promotion Board, the Iowa Renewable Fuels Association and the Iowa Soybean Association.  Through the Renewable Fuels Promotional Assistance Program, Iowa Corn and IRFA will partner with retailers for grand openings for E85 and ethanol blender dispensers and Iowa Soybean and IRFA will partner with retailers for grand openings for biodiesel dispensers.

To take advantage of this program, retailers are encouraged to contact Lucy Norton at 515-252-6249 or lnorton@IowaRFA.org at least 40 days before the planned grand opening to arrange promotional assistance.
