E85 (Ethanol Blend)

E85 is a type of fuel that contains up to 85% ethanol, a renewable alcohol made from plants like corn or sugarcane. It’s designed for flexible-fuel vehicles that can run on both regular gasoline and E85. Ethanol burns cleaner than gasoline, producing fewer emissions, which can help reduce air pollution. However, E85 has a lower energy content, meaning vehicles may get fewer miles per gallon compared to gasoline. It is often used as a more sustainable alternative, supporting domestic agriculture and reducing dependence on fossil fuels.
