There is now 88 Octane fuels that are up to 15% Ethanol and can be used in most newer vehicles that run E0 (no ethanol) to E10 (up to 10% ethanol) gasoline.

Do not use E85 in any vehicle that does not say FlexFuel capable on the gas cap!!!!! If you do, you will be getting towed and end up with a very expensive service bill for flushing and servicing the fuel system.

Slow down and back off the coffee just a bit. I think you just repeated everything I said.
