Default Any problems with e85 gas?

I've been doing a little reading on the whole e85 mandate and was curious if my 2007 Honda Accord SE is e85 compatible and if I should expect anything crazy besides worse gas milage?

do not put e85 in your accord. it is not a flex fuel vehicle. and what e85 mandate are you talking about....I hope you are not serious.

IMO, ethanol should be considered fuel contamination. Use as little as possible in your Honda.

Why does Honda not have "Flex fuel" cars? Bcause they view it as contamination as well. Plus, how many corn fields do you think are in Japan? LOL They don't want to have to import that crap.


Your car will NOT like E85. You will end up with the MIL on and possibly a repair bill.

Your logic is flawed.

E85 can does not have to be made from corn.......you can make it from rice too.

E85 in a car that is not designed for it will either not run or will run so lean you will break something.

True, but who wants to drive a rice burner?
