Geoff4130 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Hi all. I have a quick question and I'm 99.44% sure the answer is no. Can a 1999 OBW run on E85 fuel? It seems to be $.80 - $1.00 less than 87 octane and we're going on a trip from the middle of WI to Tulsa and that would save a lot of coin. Thanks.

Thanks. no its not that simple, you need bigger injectors, a scrubbed fuel system, and a reprogramed ecu to name a few. Also while e85 seems cheaper it gets 30-40% less mpg so its a wash. nipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you cannot unless the car has been modified from its stock form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manarius Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Boxer engines like decent gas, not E85. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
