E85 and Flexible Fuel Vehicles (FFVs)

There has been a dramatic increase in the availability of E85—a blend of 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent ordinary unleaded gasoline. All major American automakers offer models that can operate on E85. Called Flexible Fuel Vehicles or FFVs, these vehicles can actually run on E85, E-10 Unleaded, ordinary unleaded gasoline—or any combination thereof. A computer in the fuel system automatically adjusts for the level of ethanol in the fuel. In other words, FFV owners do not have to fill up with E85 all the time.

The number of E85 stations is increasing every month. For a current list of E85 stations and a list of FFVs available, visit: www.e85fuel.com.
