E85
E85
Does anybody know anything about this stuff? What cars run on it, if it is ok for those cars long term, if there is much growth in E85 stations? I just read about it- and it sounds like a nice alternative fuel- one that could help decrease our dependence on foreign oil, and also increase the economies of Kansas, Missouri, and Kansas City.

Re: E85
I thihnk any flexible fuel vehicle (FFV) can run with E85. It just takes a fuel sensor to adjust for the various densities of the fuel. The little green leaf icon on Fords is their FFV indicator and I've seen it on lots of models. Not sure about others.

Re: E85
Not to hijack this thread, but is all gasoline now low-sulfur? I ask because I got a TSB saying that I should use low-sulfur gas in order to avoid a rotten-egg odor when the mix is rich (e.g., at a stoplight). If low sulfur isn't the norm, how can I tell which stations sell it? It's not like octane, where the figure is listed on the pump.
