Propel’s 85 cent E85 event a great success

Posted on March 1, 2010 | Leave a comment

Last Wednesday’s event brought drivers across Sacramento to Propel stations to fill with E85 Flex Fuel for $0.85/gallon. New and returning customers were happy to brave the morning’s stormy weather to fill their tanks with low-carbon, domestically produced E85.

Drivers across the region joined together to reduce approximately 30,000 lbs of CO2 and save over $10,000 at the pump–in just one day!

Propel team members enjoyed meeting new customers at the pumps on Wednesday, as well as catching up with many loyal Propel users. We appreciate all your comments and suggestions on ways to improve customer experience at the pumps.

A day of fishing with DownStream kids

Last Friday, Propel team members spent the day volunteering at the third annual DownStream Fly Fishing event. The program offers children with Down Syndrome a chance to spend a day outdoors with family and volunteers fly fishing.

Program founder, Ryan Miller, hopes “that through fly fishing, children with Down Syndrome can improve coordination, fine tune motor skills, boost social skills and attain a sense of accomplishment while having fun.”

We certainly had a great time — kids and volunteers alike!

The program hosted other activities in addition to fishing — we tied flies, practiced casting and made watercolor art.
