Flexible fuel vehicles (FFVs) are engineered to run on blends of gasoline and ethanol in any percentage up to 85 percent. E85 is 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline. It is seasonally adjusted for cold weather, and may at times, be less than 85 percent ethanol. To be considered an alternative fuel vehicle (for tax incentives), the car or truck must be able to operate on up to 85 percent ethanol.

Did You Know?
According to the National Ethanol Vehicle Coalition, approximately 6 million flex-fuel vehicles have been sold in the United States. Interestingly enough, many buyers remain unaware that they own a flexible fuel vehicle. Be sure to check your owners’ manual—you may be surprised to find you have a FFV already. Is yours on this list?
FFV Fun Fact
All gasoline vehicles are able to operate on gasoline and ethanol blends up to 10 percent. Most pump gas sold in the United States has approximately that amount of ethanol in it to meet clean air or emissions regulations. These low percentage blends are not classified as alternative fuels.
