Can a 2002 suburban use ethanol fuel, it says gasoline and E0 -E85?

Question

will it work

Answer 1

Most gasoline vehicles can safely use gasoline blended with up to 10% ethanol (commonly known as E10).

You would have to have a vehicle that is specially designed to work with higher concentrations of ethanol, known as a flex-fuel vehicle, to use the higher concentrations of ethanol fuel (most commonly E85, or 85% ethanol/15% gasoline).

Chevrolet did make a Flex-Fuel version of the Suburban in 2002:

But whether or not your Suburban is flex-fuel, you'll have to look for labeling on the vehicle itself (a FFV badge, or a note by the gas cap or under the hood).

I wish you luck finding a place to refuel with E85, if you indeed have a flex-fuel Suburban.  There are few flex fuel (E85, or 85% ethanol) stations available in the US. You can look them up at:

Answer 2

E85 is an ethanol fuel,
