E85

E85, sometimes referred to as Flex Fuel, is an all renewable, alternative fuel made from fermenting and distilling biomass and agricultural waste. It is a high ethanol content, high octane fuel specifically designed for Flexible Fuel Vehicles (FFV) and should only be used in FFVs.

Each auto manufacturer identifies its Flexible Fuel Vehicles (FFV) differently, generally, there will be either a yellow gas cap/ring, a Flex Fuel badge on the rear of the vehicle, or “E85/Ethanol” wording either on the windshield, window, or under the hood.

If you’re unsure whether your vehicle is compatible, check your vehicle owners manual or refer to our compatibility guide.
