Can Hybrid cars take E-85 gasoline?

Question

I know that hybrids are regular gasoline and electric engine vehicles... but when I get gas can I also benefit from using E-85 gas?

Answer 1

I don't know of any hybrid cars that use E-85.  The foreign car makers don't currently make any cars in the US that run on E-85 and they make most of the  gas hybrids.  I would check out Saturn's new hybrid Vue, the new Chevy Malibu hybrid, and Ford's Escape hybrid.  Ford and GM both make a lot of E-85 vehicles.  Normally it will say near the gas cap whether it's E-85 compatible or not.  If it doesn't say there, it will normally say in the manual.

If the car is called a Flex Fuel gas vehicle it will take E-85.

Check out http://www.e85fuel.com

They normally keep a list of what cars are E-85 compatible.  That's partially how I found out if mine was.  Then I checked my manual to make double sure.

Answer 2

In general Hybrid vehicles, like most other vehicles, can't use E-85.  In most cases the vehicle will clearly state that it can take E-85 when possible but because of the corrosive nature of E-85 most vehicale can't currently use it.

Ford and others have come out with "Flex Fuel" vehicles that can now use E-85 fuel.

Even more exciting is the news regarding the ew GM vehicle, the Chevy Volt.
