United Energy Distributors to offer first U.S. multi-renewable fuel retail
United Energy Distributors Inc plans to open around Aug 12 at 1046 Toolebeck Rd as the nation’s first facility to sell bio diesel and E85 blends. President James H. Roberts cites tests in Golden Colorado and support from Savannah River Site and state officials as proof of safety and mileage gains. Governor Hodges calls the project a national example, funded entirely by the company, with eight pumps under a Phillips 66 canopy and multiple payment options for customers.
