Flexible Performance
What
is E85? It's a motor fuel blend of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline.
Ethanol is a completely renewable, domestic, environmentally friendly
fuel that enhances the nation's economy and energy independence.
Due
to its prevalence in the U.S., corn is the main crop utilized for
ethanol production. However, several other crops can be used. And when
used, E85 creates little to no emissions at the tail pipe, which means
cleaner air and a reduction in pollution.
When
you go to fuel your vehicle, you'll notice the cap is yellow. This
denotes the fact that you have a flex-fuel engine. Flex-Fuel vehicles
may be filled with gasoline, E85 or any combination of the two. A
fill-up of one or the other is not required.
