U. S . Department of Energy - Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy <br /> Alternative Fuels Data Center <br /> E85 <br /> E85 (or flex fuel ) is a term that refers to high-level ethanol-gasoline blends containing r� <br /> 51 %-83% ethanol , depending on geography and season (see Fuel- Propertles , <br /> uel o e i . nhp ) and E85 Specifications (ethanol e85 spgcs . htWII ). it can be used in <br /> flexible fugi vehicles (/vehicigg/flexible fuel . html ) (FFVs ), which are available from domestic <br /> and foreign automakers . Use the Vehicle Cost Calrulatpr Ugalc/), to look up FFV fuel <br /> economy, fuel costs , and greenhouse gas reductions . = t ' <br /> Other than lower gas mileage, motorists driving FFVs will see little difference when using E85 <br /> versus gasoline. Depending on the actual ethanol content , E85 has less energy per gallon 4_ <br /> than gasoline to varying degrees (the impact on fuel economy lessens as the ethanol content ' ^r_ <br /> decreases ). <br /> E85 Stations <br /> There are more than 2, 700 public E85 stations in the United States that offer high-level <br /> ethanol blends to the nearly 20 million FFVs on U . S . roadways . As a result of the United x <br /> States Department of Agriculture's Biofuels Infrastructure Partnership, $210 miion has been <br /> mpp <br /> set aside for the installation of new ethanol infrastructure in 2016 to increase the availability <br /> of E15. High•levei ethanol blends are available in more than 40 states , with a concentration of <br /> stations in the Midwest. Find E85 Fueling Station Locations (ethanol locations , html ) near <br /> you. <br /> There are additional regulations for stations selling blends above E10 .
