OK so you had about 4 gallons of gas left this drops the e85 to about e50 since the two fuels do mix. The car is designed to take up to e15 so the gap is now at only 35. Not so horrible when you look at it that way. Just burn it off (it will burn off faster than gas) and fill it back up and the percentage will continue to go down. Do not panic if you get a CEL since the E85 burns different and there is more oxygen which will mess with your O2 sensors. The light should go out once things clear up.

Either way it doesn't matter. If you top it off, it'll just delude the e85 even more. Until you're at a nice e15 or similar. Or just run the tank out and fill up with premium at that point. |

Burn some off. Top it up. Repeat until all is good. Don't need to go gallon by gallon for the top ups though. You will be fine.

Ok so my friends dad works for a gas company and he says there isn't really e85 in utah it's 85 octane. Do you think it could be this? I look online and there are a few places that says they sell it but he says it's just 85 octane

As do I. It's way too late for me to focus on proper spelling and I can't even blame it on the iPhone this time |

85 octane isn't ideal but regardless of if it was 85 octane or e85, the same principle remains, drain the tank and fill it with premium and just know that the car won't function optimally until then. |
