Navy Exchange Service Command Opens E85 Station

1 Comment Posted by – March 13th, 2009

The Navy Exchange Service Command (NEXCOM), headquarters for the Navy’s worldwide Navy Exchange stores, held a ribbon cutting ceremony today for Hampton Roads’ first E85 pump. The station is located at the Navy Exchange Gas Station, NAS Oceana, Virginia Beach.

NEXRear Adm. Robert Bianchi, Commander, NEXCOM, and Captain Markham Rich, Commanding Officer, NAS Oceana hosted the ceremony with principal guests and speakers Congressman Glenn Nye, D-VA 2nd District and Bob Dinneen, President and CEO, Renewable Fuels Association.

NEXCOM awarded a public private venture (PPV) contract in April 2008 to Protec Fuels for the infrastructure development and supply of the E85. NEX Oceana is the first location developed under this contract.

With this grand opening, there will be three public access E85 stations in Virginia. The Navy Exchange Oceana facility will be the second public access E85 fuel facility in Virginia operated by the U.S. Navy/NEX.

The Navy is a leader in the use of alternative fuels, including ethanol and biodiesel, and operates the largest fleet of vehicles using alternative fuels in the state of Virginia. This venture will provide the needed access to E85 fuel for the Navy’s fleet of flex-fuel vehicles as well as to the general public.

    Alcons,
    Good morning,
    I will appreciate if the supervisor or somebody can tell me the actual gas price per gallon in 1998 and 1999 at the Naval Air Station gas station, Oceana in VA.
    Also, tell me if the year 1998/99 Gas Station Manager is still available or transfer please provides me a phone number or contact address.

    There is some unanswered question that came up on equilibrium/price changes affecting society and business world as gas price go up and fluctuates, which turn the table to emerge E85 of April 2008.
    Please advice, and send me contact for the Oceana gas station (VA) current manager’s number or mailing address. This will be helpful in closing and updating my research.
    Respectfully,
    James Bhanji Ade
    DCAM ADMINISTRATOR (N68685)
