    Default Any infomation on NEW E85 gasoline?

    I have seen E85 gasoline that contains 85% ethanol. I guess it suppose to be environmental friendly. Any information about this type of gas? Would it harm my engine in anyway?

    you have to have a dual fuel vehicle, and i think only newer autos are equipped to handle it. I'm not 100% positive, but i'd recommend looking into it before trying it out.

    Default Yes it will harm your engine, it can only be used on flex fuel capable

    vehicles and there are lists on the internet of which vehicles are flex fuel capable.
