We drive hours out of our way to fuel our vehicles with E-85, time we cannot afford to lose and money we spend on the road instead of in our community. A forty-minute trip to Dolgeville would change that. One Dream Gas, located at 6371 NY-167 in Dolgeville, is positioned to serve the Utica area with E-85 availability around the clock, seven days a week. This matters because consistent access to E-85 fuel near home means we can make the choice that works for our vehicles and our values without sacrificing hours of our lives to long-distance drives.

We are calling on One Dream Gas to bring E-85 service to their Dolgeville location. The infrastructure is there. The need is clear. Those of us who rely on E-85 fuel deserve access that does not require us to plan our week around a four-hour round trip. Forty minutes is reasonable. Twenty-four-hour availability is essential for working people and families with unpredictable schedules.

This is not just about convenience. It is about recognizing that fuel choice matters to our community and that local businesses can meet that demand. One Dream Gas has the opportunity to be the station that does. They already serve the area with food and service. Adding E-85 to their fuel offerings would cement their role as a true community resource and would remove a genuine barrier that keeps Utica-area drivers from choosing the fuel option that works best for them.

We, the undersigned, urge One Dream Gas to stock and dispense E-85 fuel at their Dolgeville location. Make it available. Keep it open around the clock. Let us stop driving four hours for what should be forty minutes away. Our time, our community, and our choice deserve that.
