Default E 85 Question

Can I run E-85 in my '03 Ram V-6? And if so, what MPG's are you getting with it v/s regular gas?

I don't think the 3.7L is E-85 compatable.

Does Dodge have any Flex fuel vehicles, seems to be Chevy with the most.

dodge claims they have the most in their pamphlets, i think they mean most variety. with the ram, the 4.7's are their flex fuel motor, and they put that motor in the jeep as well

Yep. Besides, 3.7 with flexfuel will probably give you worst mpg.

I know that my 04 V6 is not E-85.

Yes E-85 will give you about 10% less mpg but about 5% more power...

I know someone that has a chevy flex fuel vehicle and when he puts in e-85 he gets terrible gas mileage. You may save at the pump in terms of the fuel cost, but pay for having to fill up more often. I own the dodge 3.7l and it is not e-85 compatible
