Fueling with Flex Fuel E85

Propel Flex Fuel E85 is made for the way you live. Whether its your morning commute or family road trip, Flex Fuel E85 delivers performance and savings at every turn. High-octane E85 is compatible with all Flex Fuel vehicles and can be used interchangeably with gasoline. E85 is comprised of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline and is derived from fermented starch and sugars.

Performance

E85 is an ethanol-based, clean-burning alternative to petroleum gasoline. It is performance-optimized for use in Flex Fuel vehicles. E85′s octane rating is 100-105, considerably higher than premium gasoline (91 octane). It increases vehicle horsepower and acceleration, especially in higher compression engines.

Renewable

Unlike petroleum, E85 is made from renewable resources like corn and next generation sources such as switchgrass and agricultural waste material. Using E85 not only decreases CO2 emissions by 28% (Argonne National Laboratory, GREET); it has also helped cut the consumption of crude oil by nearly one million barrels a day.

Air Quality and Environment

Ethanol reduces tailpipe carbon monoxide emissions by 30%, reducing smog and air toxins, such as benzene, by 21%, and tailpipe particulate matter (PM 2.5) emissions by 50%. Ethanol is rapidly biodegradable in surface water, ground water and soil. Next-generation ethanol produced from cellulosic materials can offer even greater benefits with an 85% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
