	E85 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		E85 is an alcohol fuel mixture of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline, by volume.
		E85 as a fuel is widely used in Sweden and is becoming increasingly common in the United States, mainly in the Midwest where corn is a major crop and is the primary source material for ethanol fuel production.
		E85 has an octane rating of 105, which is higher than typical commercial gasoline mixtures (octane ratings of 85 to 95); however, it does not burn as efficiently in traditionally-manufactured internal-combustion engines.

	E85 Questions and Answers
		E85 is the term for motor fuel blends of up to 85 percent ethanol and just 15 percent gasoline.
		E85 is an alternative fuel as defined by the U.S. Department of Energy.
		Longer-term use of E85 in gasoline-only vehicles may cause damage because of the incompatibility of the alcohol fuel with the parts in gasoline-only engines.

	Ethanol fuel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The resulting fuel is known in the United States as gasohol, or gasoline type C in Brazil.
		Two common mixtures in the United States are E10 and E85 which contain 10% and 85% ethanol, respectively, while the common mixtures in Brazil are gasoline type C and its high octane variants, which contain 20% to 25% ethanol (also the only kind of gasoline legally sold in fuel stations).
		General Motors of Canada are preparing the launch of E85 flex-fuel vehicles, and will be sold at the same price as their gasoline-only versions.

		Missouri's first E85 fuel pump was located in Jefferson City, and 27 E85 fuel pumps now operate in the state.
		E85 has a 100-plus octane rating, lessens our dependency on foreign oil, strengthens our nation's and state's economies and very often costs less at the pump than regular gasoline.
		Although E85 has a lower BTU rating than unleaded gasoline and may reduce miles per gallon, most drivers are willing to accept this reduction since the price per gallon also is lower.

	E85 Ethanol Fuel Blog
		Many people who follow the ethanol and E85 issue and consider it a potentially viable alternative fuel look to the future of cellulosic ethanol technology, which some say is at least a few years away, to make their arguments.
		Here is a news article from CNN about Walmart and why they are considering selling E85 from gas stations they own and possibly from their stores.
		Walmart says their goal is to make E85 available across the U.S. According to the article, it appears the main reason this has not been done yet is because of supply fears - they want to make sure ethanol is available all the time and at a low price.

	Zmetro.com: E85
		E85 is the designation for a fuel that combines 85 percent ethanol with 15 percent gasoline.
		And to obtain maximum power from higher-octane E85, engines must be tuned to run on it, or be able to adjust timing and the air-to-fuel ratio when running on E85.
		In addition, in most states E85 costs about the same as unleaded regular while costing the driver up to 15 percent in fuel-economy penalties because it does not pack the same explosive punch as gasoline.

		E85, using ethanol made in the USA from corn, isn't a science experiment or pipe dream.
		In fact, a wholesale switch to E85 and other fuels made largely from plants instead of petroleum is a key, early step in a program that could eliminate U.S. gasoline consumption by 2050, according to Nathanael Greene, senior policy analyst at the Natural Resources Defense Council.
		As a replacement for much of the oil we use, E85 is being hoisted like a battle flag, discussed as if it were an exotic potion, even supported by your tax dollars in the energy bill signed into law last summer.

	ALTERNATIVE ENERGY BLOG - Solar-Energy-Wind-Power.com: Is Ethanol / E85 Fuel the Solution?
		The E85 fuel campaign is currently sponsoring a road trip to highlight the usage of E85, but also the difficulty of driving a car solely on E85 due to its lack of availability.
		Meanwhile E85 fuel is also been promoted by organisations such as the National Corn Growers Association, as well as regional and state corn growers organisations, associated agribusinesses and biofuel companies.
		In the NEVC’s bylaws its purpose is described as to "ensure that as decisions regarding the future of America’s use of alternative forms of transportation fuels are being made, ethanol has a role in the nation’s alternative transportation fuel market and support the expanded use of ethanol" and to "advance legislative proposals" to this effect.

	Ethanol (E85)
		It is thus inherently a renewable resource, and contributes nothing in itself to greenhouse-gas loading of the atmosphere (and with efficient modern farming techniques, there's still an improvement even when you add in the petroleum-based fuel burned to plow the fields, make the fertilizer, etc.).
		E85 is, in many ways, like M85, the other alcohol fuel made with methanol instead of ethanol blended with 15% gasoline.
		Elsewhere in the nation, E85 stations are rarer than M85 stations; in particular, I don't think there's a single one in California.

		E85 already contains inhibitors and such to minimize corrosion, and most of the problems with ethanol usage were solved 20 years ago when most of the country moved to ethanol addition to gasoline following the oil crisis in 1973 and high oil prices that continued up until 1981.
		The total ignition advance for E85 is almost identical to the ideal advance for gasoline so it does not cause the ECU problems when you mix them.
		E85 has a Stoichemetric mixture of between 9.7 - 10:1 and a max power mixture of about 6.98-8.5:1 or so, where with gasoline it is 12.5:1-to 13.1.
