GM's FlexFuel Vehicles list

GM is moving forward on the flex fuel front, meaning some cars can burn 85% ethanol, made from corn and other renewable sources.

GM has more than 1.5 million FlexFuel Vehicles on the road today in all 50 states, able to operate on gasoline or on a blend of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline. So you can choose the fuel that's best for you. Important, because E85 fuel is not yet widely available. And vehicles running on E85 have a 5% to 25% shorter cruising range than the same vehicle operating on regular gasoline. Yet when you can choose E85 ethanol, you make a difference. This renewable fuel, made from U.S. grown bio material (like corn or grain products), helps reduce our dependence on petroleum and greenhouse gas emissions. GM FlexFuel Vehicles operating on E85 fuel can help:

  • Gain increased horsepower for better engine performance because E85 ethanol fuel has a higher octane rating than premium gasoline
  • Lessen engine wear
  • Support the domestic agriculture industry in the U.S.
