It is best not to alternate repeatedlybetween gasoline and E85. If you do switchfuels, it is recommended that you add asmuch fuel as possible—at least half a tank.Do not add less than 5.0 gal (18.9 L)whenrefueling. You should drive the vehicleimmediately after refueling for at least5.0 mi (8 km)to allow the vehicle to adaptto the change in ethanol concentration.The recommendation if you exclusively useE85 fuel, is to fill the fuel tank with regularunleaded gasoline at each scheduled oilchange.
