Can I used E-87 Ethanol
Okay I was wondering since I have the 2.2l engine does that mean I can use the E-87 fuel. My gas cap isn't yellow and usually cars that can have a yellow cap for this. I heard you can save gas with that fuel but don't want to try it unless I'm sure I can use that fuel. Any Ideas.

Somewhere on the forum, ChevyMgr mentioned that they had to change a lot of the plastic and rubber parts in the fuel system for E85, including the gas tank. (If I recall correctly) so No, I wouldn't even try....... a melting, soggy gas tank would not be a good idea......

I believe it is around 75% of the power/energy of normal gasoline (including 10% ethanol) so if E-85 is not at least 25% cheaper than regular gasoline you are spending more money for it in the long run, because it burns faster.

yea, my Town & Country is E-85 equiped, ran 4 tanks through it for testing got horrible gas mileage. My milage went for 18 a gallon down to like 13, and my distance for travel went form like 310 miles a tank to barely 240. wont be using that sutff again, especially since it is only ten cents cheaper than regular 87 octane.
