I live in Iowa which is the state that pushes ethanol more than anywhere else. Most cars can run off of pump gas with 5-10% ethanol added. Onlycars made specically from the factory to run off of E-85 can do so. My brothers 99' ranger can and some newchevy trucks can. E-85 stations are really really rare sounless you live next to one it is not worth owning a E-85 car.

Just so you know, Ethonal (at this time) is hard on the seals in your engine.
