No your car is set up to use 87, 89 or 91. E-85 gas is a ethanol based fuel and requires certain fuel injection properties etc....

No - not on a car that's 14 years old. The alcohol will dissolve seals, maybe hoses, and you'll have leaks all over the place. I'd be afraid that your car would catch fire.
Stick to regular unleaded gas.

To be sure just fill a 1/4 tank with E85 and if it doesn't run right, fill the rest with 91 octane.

in order for you to use E-85 your vehicle need to have a special engine and parts due to the highly corrosion properties of the Ethanol

Nope, it will damage your vehicle..
Why switch ?
E-85 is not a good product....
Ethanol is a fools alternative to Petroleum...

No. You need a vehicle that is built to accept this type fuel.

your car will be drunk from all the alcohol
I remember when Homer Simpson filled up his car with the stuff
"one for you, one for me..." (then he also filled HIMSELF up with it too!)
