My 2007 F150 has the 5.4 motor that can run Ethanol. I was just wondering what you folks thought about it and how ofter should it be used? I want to take care of my baby and I want her to eat good and clean. Any comments or suggestions are welcome. Thank you.

mine also has the flex fuel, but there are no stations around me that carry it. i noticed ur in ohio, so i saw that in ashland they have it and 1 other place, but i think that is all. not totally sure.

T-SOR

they have it at a couple places in wisconsin i know but i really dunno the "facts" about it i know people say that it doesnt get good gas milleage but could just be rumor who knows

It give you less MPg but it cheaper so it all equals out really

Around here its not that much cheaper. You will lose 15-20% fuel mileage, but E85 is 101 octane so you can tune the hell out of it and get more than even premium gas. My wifes Ranger runs on E85 and I set up a tune for it, BIG diffrence over the 93 tune.

yep, e83 isnt that bad.

The truck/car has to be set up to run on it or it will burn the motor up.

so which is it??? E85 or E83???? i always thought it was E85

I have a flex fuel motor, NGM. I know that it is to be better than gas on the world but after hearing what a few of you guys say I went to a govenment website. It showed me how much a year it would cost me to run E85 and it is about $500 more a year in fuel. I think I will stick with my good old gas.

Its E-85. I love to drive my wifes Ranger with that in it. It dosent have the power that my truck does but since she has 4.11 gears its quick out of the hole...
