For the last eight years, Chevy has been producing vehicles capable of running on a fuel that grows primarily from the good earth and remembers its roots. That fuel is E85 ethanol.(1) E85 is a mostly renewable fuel source made from U.S.-grown biomaterial, such as corn and other grain products. It’s a fuel that can help decrease our dependence on petroleum and burns cleaner than gasoline.

E85 fuel generally has a higher octane rating than gasoline, which can result in slightly higher horsepower and torque levels. Chevy has over 2 million E85 FlexFuel vehicles on the road today. And we offer more E85 ethanol-capable vehicle choices than any other brand.

“At GM, we believe that the biofuel with the greatest potential to displace petroleum–based fuels in the U.S. is ethanol.”
