 Driven by environmental, economic, and energy security concerns, the availability and use of E85 is growing nationally. E85 is composed of 85 percent ethyl alcohol (ethanol) and just 15 percent petroleum. E85 is designed for use in flexible fuel vehicles, referred to as "FFVs." According to the Energy Information Administration, there are over four million light-duty flexible fuel vehicles (FFVs) in the United States. These are operated by private citizens as well as business and government fleets. FFVs may fuel with either E85 and/or gasoline interchangeably. With approximately 200 E85 fueling stations in operation nationally in 2004, most FFVs are now fueled with gasoline. The availability of E85 and FFVs is expected to increase significantly in the next few years. To learn more about E85 and how it can be used as a fuel, go to the following links:
