Flexible Fuel Vehicle Cost Calculator

Methodology

Original equipment manufacturers typically offer flexible fuel vehicles (FFVs) at the same prices as comparable gasoline vehicles. However, the costs of E85 are slightly higher, due to the energy content of the fuel (E85 has about 27% less energy per gallon than gasoline).

All available flexible fuel vehicles are provided in this tool. Select the FFV you are interested in, then select a state where E85 is available. You can calculate the cost of driving the selected vehicle, gallons of gasoline saved, and pounds of greenhouse gases saved by fueling with E85.
