Hi
Does anyone know if E85 is ok to use in a Prius? I have a 2004 model, and there
is some
rumor that E-85 may be available round here soon, so I was wondering.

Absolutely not. I *believe* that the manual for my 2002 says up to E15 is
OK. Check your manual for confirmation.

No, not okay. It has been tried and a few dedicated enthusiasts insist the
car eventually gets used to it, but using E85 sets the "check engine" light.
AFAIK there is no actual harm done.

Besides, if everyone used E85 we'd starve to death.
