Sheetz is continuing its campaigns to aid consumers at the fuel pump, this time reducing the price of E85 to $1.85 a gallon through the end of this month.

E85, or Flex Fuel, is offered at more than 375 Sheetz stores locations throughout Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, Ohio and North Carolina. This reduction will be available at all Sheetz locations that sell E85.

While a promotion to drive traffic, the price cut also helps raise awareness or E85 fuel for consumers who drive flex-fuel vehicles, designed to run on gasoline or gasoline-ethanol blends of up to 85% ethanol.

  • Sheetz is No. 12 on CSP’s 2023 Top 40 update of the largest U.S. convenience-store chains by company-owned store count.

In recent months, Sheetz has cut gas prices several times in inflation-fighting promotions, most recently with a March Madness promotion that reduced the price of the chain’s premium, midgrade and ethanol-free fuel grades to match the regular 87 prices. And in January, Sheetz cut diesel fuel prices by 50 cents a gallon at each of its locations that offer diesel.

Established in 1952 in Altoona, Pennsylvania, Sheetz Inc. operates more than 670 store locations in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, Ohio and North Carolina.
