Best Answer

If you have the flex fuel version of the 3.0 litre " Vulcan " V6 engine , you can use E85 ethanol or " regular " unleaded gasoline , 87 octane , or any combination of the 2 fuels

To identify if your engine is a flex fuel version ( there will be a sticker inside the fuel filler door and also the 8th " character " of the VIN will be a " K " )
