Lol i know that part i just thought it 87 was the only one i could use
87,89,91,93,94... E87 and such.. They all work.. As stated i tried 93 and the car was noticeably better throttle response and i got higher mpg's on a pretty controlled drive that i never get that good of mpg's and to top it off it was the coldest week so far

Could you use e85?
Definitely not. The only vehicles that can use this have a "flex fuel" badge. We used to use this a lot at my old employer. The mileage is horrible and the price difference between E85 and unleaded is not enough to offset the loss in fuel efficiency.

The loss was like 35% from flex fuel and unleaded, yet the price difference was around 8-10%. Basic math would tell you its not worthwhile, however; we were still forced to use it anyway (hint: We were Government employees).
