In Arizona, you'll find 16 local gas stations in 10 cities that you can fill up your Flex Fuel vehicle with E85 Ethanol.

E85, a blend of Ethanol and conventional fuel, would reduce pollutants and may cut gas consumption, but can't be used in all vehicles. This fuel offers some benefits - the price is typically lower than conventional fuel, it may reduce pollution, and it can reduce Arizona's dependence on foreign oil. But it has some significant drawbacks. You get less energy per gallon than conventional gasoline. And not every vehicle can use E85. Your engine could be damaged if you put E85 in a car that is not properly equipped to be a "Flex-Fuel" vehicle. Check your owner's manual, check the websites listed on this page under "OTHER LINKS", and consult with your car's manufacturer before you fill up with E85.

E85 typically sells for less than convention fuel, but yields less energy than conventional gasoline. A motorist needs about 1.3 gallons of E85 to produce the same amount of energy as a gallon of conventional fuel. Some carmakers, including General Motors, are working on new technology that would increase the efficiency of ethanol-fueled vehicles.

Not every vehicle can use E85. It's more corrosive than conventional gasoline. It can damage a car that is not properly equipped, and it could lead to poor fuel performance. Service stations that want to sell E85 will need special equipment. Service station owners are not liable if a motorist puts the fuel into a vehicle that is not equipped to handle E85.

Many environmental groups support the use of E85 because it can reduce toxic emissions, and it emits fewer ozone-forming chemicals and compounds. In addition, a national study found that ethanol produced from corn reduces greenhouse gases by 20 percent. Ethanol from cellulose can reduce these gases by 60 to 65 percent.
