      I would have to say no simply because it is not advertised to be able to do so...

      anything over 10% will probably clog up the filter and possibly chew through non-silicon fuel lines.

      You also need high compression to get any respectable power from e85... turbo would be recommended.
      Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far the wall moves after you hit it.

      You need an adaptor kit. and a tune to make it worth while but your gas mileage will go down.

      Also, it won't clog your filter. Almost all of the local gas stations have 15% and the gto is fine w/ it.

      What do you mean there's no turbo?

      Nope... I haven't... Wouldn't want to risk ruining a car just to see if it worked... I have converted a Diesel Engine Car to run Cooking Oil, but that's it...

      I wouldn't even want to run E85. Less milleage, more land dedicated to fuel instead of food drives prices of food up. Screw ethanol. The only place I want ethanol is in my belly
      I leased Pontiac Wave from September 2006 to August 2011.

      didnt you hear we can clone food so we dont need land lol but anyway you would need bigger injectors to i believe, i know a few k-series guys doing highcompression all motor builds using e85 but they needed to use a lot bigger injectors because it takes more fuel to run
