PHOENIX — AAA Yellow Cab is opening a new 24-hour E85 Ethanol public fueling station on Friday.

The new station is located a quarter mile from Sky Harbor at 3030 S. 45th St. The first 50 customers in line between 10 and 11 a.m. will fill their cars up for just $1.99 per gallon. After the Grand Opening special, the ethanol fuel is still a deal at $2.35 per gallon.

The new station has a 12,000 gallon tank, and the projected volume of the station is 1,000,000 gallons per year. AAA Yellow Cab said the station was built in a record 41 days.

Along with the opening of this station, AAA will put 140 E85-powered taxis on the road. These taxis will service Sky Harbor as well as the greater Phoenix area and are designed to run on Clean Burning Ethanol. One hundred twenty-six of the new taxis are the new Chevy HHR High Roof four-door vans, and 14 are new Dodge Caravans; both vehicles will easily accommodate passengers and their luggage.

To complement AAA Yellow cab's new airport location, other public E85 fueling stations can be found at the following locations: Arizona Department of Administration 1501 West Madison, Phoenix; Western States Petroleum, 450 S. 15th Ave Phoenix; Apache Sands Service Center, 7602 E.
