Owner's manual will tell you. I checked my '04, and it says that up to 10% ethanol (or other things like MTBE) is ok. Since E85 is 15%, that exceeds what the manual states. Do some math and you could probably use the E85, after putting some pure gas in.

=edit= ...since E85 is only 15% gas, that exceeds what the manual states...


It does also say that Methanol is a :nono:, as it will damage the fuel system.

Uh, E85 is 85% Ethanol 15% Gas.
I don't think any of the Hemi engines are flexable fuel engines.

Whups, thanks for the correction. I've edited the original post.

Is 87 not expensive enough?
