the first year that i know of chrysler offering flex fuel packages is 1998 minivans. you can't burn it in your car. flex fuel vehicles have different injectors, and engine controller software. if you ran it in your car, you would ruin the injectors, and it would burn out the catalytic convertors. even if you could burn it, it is more expensive to use. it takes so much more e85 to produce the same amount of power, you burn about 1/4 to 1/3 more fuel than straight gasoline.

right that's a shorter answer: Hybrids could be compatiable with biofuels or petroleum fuels and are extra advantageous valuable, exceptionally if youcontinual short distances. Pay very close activity to whilst fashions come out, on situation that there are substantial tax reward for figuring out to purchase new form hybrids, yet those disappear whilst they have bought some sort of a given form. in case you will in no way be waiting to get a tax break, it is going to take a whilst so you might recoup the extra advantageous fee of a hybrid. evaluate a diesel. Icontinual a 2006 Jetta TDI, can use biodiesel as much as i decide for for and get an concern-free of 45MPG in primairly city using, fifty 5 on longer journeys and overall performance quite some circumstances gotten sixty 5 on my previous holiday. Any which way, get a elementary motorized motor vehicle with a small engine.

The only part I would add to sprinkles answer is that it take from 100-1500 gallons of water to make ONE gallon of E85, government subsidizes it to EVEN sell it and yes, it does reduce your gas milage by up to 20% and now it is driving up food costs. Great move!!

No. Your car was not designed to run on e85, it will cause terminal damage to fuel system components. E85 rated cars became more available after 2002.

From what I've heard, no. I know it;s tempting - where I live e85 is a whole $1 less than regular. (2.19 for e85 right now). But if your car wasn't made for it, it's not worth it.

You sure can. You can also drive it into a lake. Neither one, however, is recommended. The alcohol will eat up the rubber seals in the fuel system and the water will ruin the interior.

It has to be specially designed for it.
