I posted this over in the HAH forum, but fits here too-

Has anyone thrown some E85 (straight or mixed tank) into their hybrid? Particularly Honda folks. I'm curious to know if the very lean fuel burn screws up VTEC, since the engine is already confused by the high ethanol % and cannot adjust timing any further.

I've determined that the hardware can handle E85- there is no natural rubber or Aluminum in the fuel system.

I figure that since engines all handle 10% ethanol, kicking it up to 25% or so probably won't confuse the computer too much, but I dunno.

There are 2 E85 stations by me...I'll swing by and look at the prices, probably put some in the Explorer at least, for a test.
