    You can't use E85 in a car unless its been designed for it.
    There are very few cars sold in Australia that can use it. They are call flex-fuel cars in the USA. I can only think of the BioPower SAABs that are sold here.

    The octane rating of the fuel is much higher than normal ULP. Over 100RON. But it contains less energy per litre. Your current fuel system may not be able to flow enough fuel under full load.
