Hernando County, Fla. Gets First E85 Station
Jallo Oil expands West Florida’s E85 stations with partner Protec Fuel
SPRING HILL, Fla. – – Jallo Oil, through its Spring Hill Mobil station, is allowing
southwestern Florida flex-fuel vehicle drivers to fill up with E85 fuel for the first
time in Hernando County. The Spring Hill, Fla., station, which launched its E85
sales this week, is at the corner of Spring Hill and Barclay.
Protec Fuel, based in Boca Raton, Fla., has partnered with Jallo Oil to manage
the E85 installation and provide fuel for the company’s new greener burning fuel
offering. Protec is a turnkey E85 company specializing in station conversions and
fuel distribution. Flex-fuel vehicles can run on E85 and gasoline. E85 is a blend
of 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline for flex-fuel vehicles (FFVs).
“We feel this is a win-win for the area and hopefully for our business,” said Paul
Jallo, President, Jallo Oil Distributors. “We see excitement building for FFV
drivers because they know they can use E85; they just didn’t know where to get it
in our area before.”
“Paul Jallo’s excitement in offering the E85 choice for Spring Hill residents is
refreshing,” said Todd Garner, CEO of Protec Fuel. ”He knows he is doing right
by the environment and the U.S. economy by offering a cleaner-burning option
for customers, but he believes it makes sense from a business standpoint as
well. He’s differentiating his convenience store,” he said.
Besides Jallo’s pledge to always sell his E85 for less than conventional gasoline
at the Spring Hill Mobil, it is better for the environment and supports our U.S. and
local economies. Additionally, Jallo Oil offers even greater savings on gallons of
their fuel - $.15 off per gallon - if you purchase a car wash when you fill up your
tank. Visit www.e85fuel.com/flexible-fuel-vehicles if you’re unsure if your vehicle
can run on E85.
Jallo Oil has been operating in the county for seven years and is a diversified
company that operates Warehouse Wine & Liquor area stores, as well as
shopping centers, and calls its Mobil convenience store a “one-stop shop.”
