Yes. An E85 car is called a Flex Fuel car meaning it can burn regular gasoline or E85.
It is not made for E85 it is just designed to be able to use E85. You can use regular fuel and it will get better fuel economy in the process.

No , the engines are not designed to use e85 in a 1971 Ford F-150
Regular UNLEADED gasoline, up to 10% ethanol. Does not require high test, not made for E85 fuel.
E85 or gas.
nothing really, It will just ride more rich and you'll have to service it a bit more often If you put E85 in a vehicle that is not a FlexFuel vehicle you will have serious problems. The E85 will cause major problems with the fuel lines and all other parts it comes in contact with. The E85 is much more corrosive than regular gasoline. Do not use E85 in a vehicle that is not FlexFuel.
It's called ethenyl. It is an highly flammable alcohol that is made from corn, grains, or sugar. It is mixed with gasoline on a 15% gasoline to 85% ethenyl ratio to make E85. All gasolines are at least 10% ethenyl and called E10. Most of today's auto manufactures produce vehicles that are compatible with E85 and E10, called "Flex Fuel" vehicles. In Brazil the gas stations only sell E85 and diesel, so all of their cars have to be made compatible to run with E85.
( IF YOU HAVE THE 3.0 L FFV ENGINE ) ! - you can use E85 ethanol / regular unleaded 87 octane / or any combination of the 2 fuels i have a 99 ford ranger 3.0 five speed manual ffv engine and it will not run e85 at all it runs it to lean.
You can burn small amounts of it without any problem. Over the long term it is thought to cause deterioration of the rubber lines, gaskets, and seals. I would recommend only using it in an emergency or mixing it with regular gas with at least 50% regular gas.
