MFA Oil Upgrades Butler Petro-Card 24 Station

 

COLUMBIA, Mo., April 4, 2025 -- MFA Oil Company, a farmer-owned energy cooperative, announces the completion of significant upgrades at its Petro-Card 24 station, located at 975 N Elks Dr. in Butler, Mo. This location is open to the public 24 hours a day and offers 87-octane gasoline and clear and red-dyed diesel fuel.

 

The newly installed fuel pumps now feature state-of-the-art payment technology, allowing customers to enjoy seamless transactions directly at the pump. Payment options include MFA Oil’s Petro-Card 24 and Preferred Customer credit cards, alongside all major credit and fleet cards.

 

“This technology upgrade is a testament to our commitment to reliability and convenience for our Petro-Card 24 customers,” said Kenny Steeves, senior vice president of MFA Oil operations. “It ensures that our members and customers have access to dependable fuel around the clock.”

 

Looking ahead, MFA Oil plans to roll out similar upgrades across all Petro-Card 24 locations by the end of 2026, underscoring its dedication to enhancing customer experience across its network of over 180 stations in Missouri, Arkansas, Iowa, and Kansas. Each station offers high-quality fuels such as BOSS® Performance Diesel and REVital Detergent Gasoline, catering to both public and commercial fueling needs.

 

Additionally, MFA Oil members using Petro-Card 24 credit cards can earn patronage dividends on their purchases. Membership is open to agricultural producers and landowners who meet the $1,000 product purchase threshold during the company’s fiscal year (Sept. 1 – Aug. 31).
