E85 Gas

[Sandpiper]

Can we use E85 gas in the new 2011 4Runner?

 

[4RFan]

No - the engine is not designed for that.

E10, or 10% Ethanol content is the maximum allowed, according to the owner's manual.

If you are in DC or NOVA, that's what you are most likely using

ha. Oh. I haven't really paid any attention to the pump. I've only filled my car up once. I guess i was using the same gas stations when i had my last truck, I guess i was envisioning a big sign like the 'E-85' signs that i've seen in the past.

thanks bro

Sorry, I should have been more specific. Its E-10 around here, not E-85

I did notice a small reduciton in gas mileage after moving here from CA

That's because of the small increase of the amount of stupid most drivers around here have. I swear, some of the stuff I see people do here would get you shot on the 710.

haha. That is funny, the 3 of us all living in the same area.

Hey, what is the deal with people turning on their hazard lights in the rain? I don't remember learning that in drivers ed. Is that something that is taught in other countries?

For instance, yesterday I was driving home from work(mclean), and i saw some idiot driving in the rain with their hazards on. And the rain was barely sprinkling, the big storm hadn't come through yet.

I realize maybe its safer, but, it still pisses me off.

True. Was in CA last week and was surprised at how fast and efficient the drive thru LA was all 4 times I did it. Same amount of traffic on the road, but we were still doing 70.

To avoid digressing further off topic, I did fill up with E-10 in San Diego.
