Here is a video made a few years ago that shows the results of over 100K miles in a non-e85 Tahoe.

Granted, it was produced by pro-ethanol group, but the results speak for themselves.

I don't think that the Camaro has a option to run on E85 fuels. Each state has a listing of gas stations that is carrying E85. But the funny thing is, there is only one place that I can get E85 that I can use in my Silverado (flexfuel). Virginia has only one location that is set up to hold E85.
If you do put E85 in your Camaro, then it will be in the shop being repaired.

Just curious, E85 is almost a dollar cheaper a gallon here than premium, which would be a nice option for people.

(And I don't care about the price of gas in this type of car)

Just so I ensure what my reasoning is for this thread. I have no intention or desire to put E85 into a non E85 car. I simply was wondering if the CAmaro could come E85 capable from the factory.

I use my truck as an example as the E85 engine is the same price as the non E85 engine.

My engine light came on about 2 days ago and threw a code that had to do with putting E85 or something of the sort in the car. I NEVER put any gas in my car but 93 octane that comes from Sunoco. I'm not sure why my car threw this code... Gotta take it to the dealer asap. Can anyone chime and in give me some info on this issue?
