How many miles does E85 last?
The manufacturer’s estimated range is 229 to 330 miles with a tank of E85 versus 312 to 474 miles with 10 percent unleaded/ethanol blend. So E85 provides 70 to 73 percent of the miles per gallon that gasoline does.
Do you get worse gas mileage with E85?
Due to ethanol’s lower energy content, FFVs operating on E85 get roughly 15% to 27% fewer miles per gallon than when operating on regular gasoline, depending on the ethanol content.
Is using flex-fuel worth it?
Cleaner for the Environment Ethanol burns cleaner than gasoline, which means flex-fuel cars pump fewer toxic fumes into the environment. Flex fuel also contributes fewer greenhouse gases, making it a more environmentally friendly option than traditional gasoline.
Does E85 reduce engine life?
Running E85 on older model engines without tuning and replacing some components will ruin the engine in short time. Replacing fuel hoses, fuel pumps, gaskets, seals, fuel filters, fuel injectors, throttle bodies, etc.
What happens if you put regular gas in an E85 tank?
Many flex-fuel vehicles (FFVs) can use both E85 and unleaded gas without any problems, but if you accidentally fill your non-FFV with E85, you could be in for an issue. Your check engine light will probably turn on, but it will turn off once the fuel starts to burn off.

When did my Ford Taurus have the transmission replaced?
I have a 1994 Ford Taurus that had the engine replaced as well as the transmission about 6 months after we purchased it 3 years ago. About a year ago, my then-husband was driving the car and said the water pump went out (the bearings). He parked it at a friend’s house immediately and it sat for a few months; then we towed it home.
Why does my Ford Taurus not start up?
If you have an intermittent problem where your Ford Taurus won’t start – no crank, no noise, absolutely nothing – then you may have the same problem I had. My car came with a extra security system where you have to push a button on a remote before starting the car. This was installed at the dealership but it’s a third party component.
