Default Re: Ethanol Free

E85 aka 85% gasoline, 15% ethanol is not certified on many modern OEM of cars, my 2012 Jeep for example.

Per: US Dept of Energy
"E85 (or flex fuel) is a term that refers to high-level ethanol-gasoline blends containing 51%-83% ethanol, depending on geography and season."

Still, less your car in E85 certified, it will not be wise to use it...

Thumbs up Re: Ethanol Free

I run 90 octane non-ethanol gas in my old cars, lawn equipment and Harleys. I bump up the octane for the Harleys by mixing in some 110 octane racing gas. The old Panhead appreciates it. Right now the non-ethanol gas is running $3.35 a gallon in Dade City, FL. Well worth it to me!
