Look on your gas cap and the area right around it. It'll tell you acceptable fuels.
A lot of recent GM vehicles are outfitted to accept E85, but I don't think they go back to 2000.
Then the other problem is where to find E85. In the San Francisco Bay Area, there is not 1 public station to fuel up with E85. There are only 2 private filling stations for company fleets that have it, and even those are like 50 miles away.

only some of the newer cars made since 2006 are E-85 capable, you have to have your car converted to run E-85, also it's not the answer to the gas problem as it's about 15 to 20 cents cheaper per gallon but what they don't tell you is you get 20% less gas mileage with E-85.
