Default Very unlikely..

The car has to be built to support it. There's a few web sites out there that list exactly which cars can use the fuel.

I saw one of the stations in Sioux City on a trip. Very cheap gas but you need something like a GM pickup to use it.

Default available in my area, but my guesses are that it's NOT compatible

but not because of the engine. Usually the restraints of using it boil down to fuel lines and the fuel tank. Also, the a/f ratio needs to be adjusted a little IIRC. A tank here or there won't kill ya, but if you use it constantly, definitely no good. (note: i'm not saying it's ok to use ethanol in your car. if your engine blows up, your bad.)<ul><li><a href="http://www.e85fuel.com/index.php">here's a good page to reference</a></li></ul>

Default True. Wonder what it would do under high pressure injection and high compression?

Not something I would risk.
