Gasohol

[Brian H]

I'm still waiting on my H3 order. Just wanted to check here to see if any one knows if Gasohol will work in the H3 or if it will harm it?
Thanks in advance for any info.

Are you refering to E-85? If so we are the unfortunate ones. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif Many of GM's vehicles (mostly trucks) will run on E-85. You can look on the window sticker, or often times it will say inside the gas cap, though I guess there isn't such a location on our vehicles http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif
Some places this stuff is 50-70 cents a gallon cheaper http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_redface.gif than regular unleaded, which around here often times has 10% corn gas!
E-85 is also over 100 octane though it will give you about 10% less fuel efficiency.

Thanks for the reply Lucci,
I am have no ideaif it is also called E-85 although I do know it is made from corn. We have a local farm market that sells farm stuff, gasoline, and gasohol. I used to use it all the time in a Chevy Silverado that I had. It worked excellent. I'll do some more research on it and also ask the dealer about it.
Thanks,
Brian

H3 is not e-85 approved. e-85 is 85% ethanol, 15% gasoline, and not that many vehicles can burn e-85. h3 is compatible with gasohol; 10% ethanol, 90% gasoline

Isn't that pretty much what I said?
Anyhow

Many of the vehicles that can run on it are high volume vehicles.
