Can I use E85?
Filling up with E85 requires a Flex Fuel Vehicle (FFV). These vehicles are specially designed to hold and sense higher blends of ethanol. There are over 6 million FFVs on the road today and many people don’t even know they have one! To check if your vehicle is equipped to run on E85, look for one of these...

a yellow or specially
marked gas cap |
a message on the inside
of the fuel door |
a special tag or plate on
the back of the vehicle |
If you don’t see one of these indicators, you still may have a Flex Fuel Vehicle.
FFVs can also be identified by the 8th character of their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
Find your vehicle on the list below and compare the corresponding character in your VIN.
