Fuel For Thought

Jeep® flex-fuel vehicles (FFV) are designed to run on conventional unleaded gasoline or E85 (85% ethanol, 15% gasoline) or any blend of the two. This allows you to take advantage of cleaner-burning E85 alternative fuel wherever it's available.

The ethanol in E85 is essentially produced from corn. Because alcohol fuels are corrosive, FFV engine and fuel systems are specially designed to accept gasoline/alcohol combinations. The fuel mixture is detected by sensors in the system that in turn signal the engine control unit to adjust the fuel injection rate and spark timing for optimal performance, fuel economy, and emissions.

The ethanol in E85:

  • Is renewable. It's produced by U.S. farmers from renewable crops, so we may never run out
  • Is produced domestically. Current ethanol production reduces the need to import 46.7 million barrels of oil a year
  • Lowers tailpipe emissions and contributes to cleaner air for everyone
  • Poses less risk than other fuel additives to groundwater in the event of underground tank or pipeline leakage
