Can you put regular gas in E10 vehicle?
My brother wants to buy a 2011 ford fiesta which says E10 on the gas cap.
Can you put regular gas in the car? Or does it have to be E10 specifically
The vast majority of the nearly 13 billion gallons of ethanol used annually in the US is E10, the 10 percent ethanol blend.
Just about all gas today is E10. If you can find regular (without E10) the nozzle won't fit.
Pretty much all gas stations sell fuel with some ethanol in it unless you are go out of your way and even then, you'll only find premium ethanol free duel.
That means no gas with more than 10% ethanol. Since that is 99% of regular gas sold today, he will have no problem.
You'll be fine with E0 (no ethanol). The E10 is there to tell you not to use E15 or greater. (You can find E85 out there. Don't.)
You can use any unleaded gasoline in it, 87 octane or better. It will tolerate E10 though I wouldn't try any higher "Exx", such as E85, which will seriously degrade mpg and performance. In California, it's very hard to find any gas that contains ethanol in a lower concentration than E10. I guess they labeled E10 on your car to say it is not a "Flexfuel" vehicle.
Check the owner's manual. Usually you can use regular unleaded gas or E10. It's just to tell you that you can't use E85.
My van is a "Flexfuel" van. It can use E85, E10 or E0 (regular gas).
Yes, you can use regular unleaded fuel. Ford recommends no more the 10% ethanol so don't use E85 15% ethanol.

- Is the 1995 Chevy s10's regular cab bigger than the 1996 Ford Ranger's regular cab? I always heard that Chevy trucks have more cab room than old Ford trucks. I'm just thinking if a Chevy s10's regular cab is bigger then the Ford Ranger's regular cab. What's bigger and gives you more space? What smaller and hardly gives you any space?
- Must I put premium gas in my 1965 Ford F100 390 V8 or can i put regular gas? I was told that it needs premium gas and premium gas only. But the guy who I bought the truck from said it was a myth and it takes regular gas. What gas does my Ford F100 390 v8 engine take?!
- Isn't it hard to force the EU to buy our cars? Ford announced they'll stop making regular cars, and they don't want our gas guzzling SUVs? Or huge trucks. That's what part of this trade war is about fyi, our products that they don't even want. Interesting, but 10% vs 2.5% isn't exactly earth shattering on cars. Plus that article's talking about OBAMA'S proposed free trade not Trumps.
