The quick answer is yes. . . there are some "however's" involved. The first is mentioned earlier depending on the octane required by your car. The second is where would you find it. Another is, if it is premium gas, you would probably be wasting a lot of money unless required by the manufacturer. a word to the wise. Many cars manufactured in the last few years are considered E-85 compatible, to which there is a caveat. In my case, (new GMC Terrain), I started from the beginning to use E-85 but my fuel mileage was never close to what the manufacturer, after many discussions with people that I trusted to know what they were talking about, using E-85 may save at the pump but be costly in the long run, (MPG). Sorry I don't remember exactly what the reason was but as I said I discussed the problem with persons I considered "Experts".
