STARTING

The characteristics of E-85 fuel make it unsuitable for use

when ambient temperatures fall below 0°F (-18°C). In the

range of 0°F (-18°C) to 32°F (0°C), you may experience an

increase in the time it takes for your engine to start, and

a deterioration in driveability (sags and/or hesitations)

until the engine is fully warmed up.

Because E-85 fuel contains less energy per gallon than

gasoline, you will experience an increase in fuel con-

sumption. You can expect your fuel economy and driving

range to decrease by about 30% compared to gasoline

Many components in your Flexible Fuel Vehicle (FFV) are

designed to be compatible with ethanol. Always be sure

that your vehicle is serviced with correct ethanol com-

patible parts.

Replacing fuel system components with non-ethanol

compatible components can damage your vehicle.

Do not use ethanol mixture greater than 85% in your

vehicle. It will cause difficulty in cold starting and

may affect driveability.
