WEST DES MOINES, IA – As thousands of cyclists and their support teams gear up for the 2025 Register’s Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa (RAGBRAI), the Iowa Renewable Fuels Association (IRFA) is proud to support the event by encouraging all support vehicles to fuel up with E15 or B20. IRFA also provides “Riding to a Greener Future” jerseys to members of the renewable fuels community riding during the weeklong event.  

“RAGBRAI is a celebration of Iowa’s communities, landscapes, and people- including our farmers,” said IRFA Marketing Director Lisa Coffelt. “By choosing E15 or B20, support drivers can help power the ride with homegrown fuels that support Iowa agriculture, improve air quality for riders, and save money at the pump. Anyone with questions about renewable fuels should just ask the riders wearing IRFA jerseys.”  

Why E15 and B20?  

• Support Iowa Farmers: E15 (15% ethanol, 85% gasoline) and B20 (20% biodiesel, 80% diesel) can be made from corn and soybeans grown right here in Iowa. Every gallon used helps strengthen the state’s agricultural economy.  

• Protect Rider Health: Cleaner-burning biofuels reduce harmful tailpipe emissions, improving air quality for cyclists and spectators along the route.  

• Save Money: E15 and B20 are often priced lower than regular gasoline and diesel, offering cost savings for support teams traveling across the state.
