Currently there is a fuel shortage in France (yes I know its not on the UK News as that's all about how bad the UK is and that there's nothing else wrong in the world), however a shortage there is, and the question is can I use E85 in a 2.4 Abarth ?.
Apparently some cars can use E85 from 2001, but as the Abarth is one of a handful of Fiats that shouldn't even use E95, but only use E98, I struggle to see that E85 would be okay. Especially if you listen to the horror stories about melting your fuel lines, dissolving your fuel injection system, etc, etc.
Whilst I know that E85 is unheard of in the UK, it's plentiful in France, and is half the price of E95. Allegedly it gives you a big power increase at a 20% extra consumption rate.
Anyone know any more ?
