E-85 as in (up to) 85% ethanol. Gotta subsidize those corn farmers somehow.

JFC that would thrash my poor little car!

Yeah, not every car can use it. Gotta rtfm before filling up with the corn trash.

No, it has ethanol in it. Not lead. Ethanol is made from corn and it's subsidized by the government so farmers can sell their excess corn.

im relieved to hear that. odd that they label all of them except the cheapest as "unleaded".

[–] Armok_the_bunny@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

For whatever reason, all gasoline in the US is labeled unleaded, or maybe disel.

[–] texture@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

well, except e85 apparently, and thats what encouraged me to ask any questions in the first place. lol :)

The other answers are correct but also for the record, I don’t think you can buy pre-mixed leaded gasoline anywhere in the US (maybe on a private racetrack?). You have to buy the lead and mix it in yourself.

Airports still offer leaded
