Flexible fuel vehicles (FFVs) are designed to run on gasoline or
a blend of up to 85%
ethanol (E85). Except for a few engine and
fuel system modifications, they are identical to gasoline-only models.
FFVs have been produced since the 1980s, and dozens of models are
currently available. Since FFVs look just like gasoline-only models,
you may have an FFV and not even know it. To determine if your vehicle
is an FFV, check the inside of your car's fuel filler door for an
identification sticker or consult your owner’s manual.
FFVs experience no loss in performance when operating on E85. However,
since a gallon of ethanol contains less energy than a gallon of
gasoline, FFVs typically get about 20-30% fewer miles per gallon
when fueled with E85.
