Pearson currently has fuel dispensers in twelve different cities across California. Pearson Fuels has grown to become California’s largest independently owned ethanol distributor.[3]

Pearson established the first ethanol station in the state of California, the first biodiesel station in San Diego, California, and the first dual pressure CNG station in the United States. In addition to electric vehicle charging, Pearson was the United States first propane vehicle fueling station, and was the first independent station in San Diego to offer ultra low sulphur diesel. Three grades of gasoline completed the offering for a total of ten different vehicle fuels. This was the first time a fueling station offering ten different fuels had ever been built.[4]
