Gas mileage is way better with regular unleaded gasoline over E85.
Yes. An E85 car is called a Flex Fuel car meaning it can burn regular gasoline or E85.
If you have the Flex Fuel Vehicle ( FFV )
Flex-fuel (unleaded/E85)
diesel, unleaded, leaded, also some hydrogen and e85 eathonol vehicles exist
The 3.0 L flexible fuel version will run on regular unleaded gas - 87 octane , or E85 ethanol , or any combination of the 2 fuels
Regular gasoline can be used in an E85 vehicle, but E85 cannot be used in a vehicle that wasn't designed for it. Why? Bascially moving E85 creates a static charge, so the gas system needs to be mostly plastic to reduce the risk of sparking (plastic fittings, tubes, etc).
( 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.
Unleaded regular pump gas will work just fine. Modern small engines are designed to run on low-octane, unleaded fuel. Stay away from E85, or any fuel with over 10% ethanol added.
Regular UNLEADED gasoline, up to 10% ethanol. Does not require high test, not made for E85 fuel.
When I STOP AT A STATION i GOT UNLEADED GAS BUT FOUND OUT DIESEL GAS WAS MIXED IN WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO MY UNLEADED TRUCK
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.
