E85 fuel
I have a 2016 Dodge Journey that as a yellow cap
that says E85. That was fine until we moved
recently and the closest gas station with e85 is 30
minutes away. Can I use regular unleaded gas in my
car or will that damage it? Thanks!

Your E85 car can use E10, E15 or 100% gasoline.
Is there anything i have to switch to use regular unleaded gas in my 20115 dodge journey?
i have a 2012 dodge journey, can i put in 91 unleaded fuel in or has to be 95?
Which gas burns better for the 2017 Dodge Journey because I noticed that 85 from a fill up runs out quick. I looked at my distances home/ work then back maybe a stop but it's in the same route.
E85 is crap and gives you low fuel economy because it has less energy in it than gasoline.
That is incorrect. E85 and all other fuels have the same energy rate.

My personal experience with this vehicle and the E85 gas for a 2017 Dodge Journey is that it is crap. It really is crap. This has been the case since day one brand new off the lot. I have never had E 85 fuel however the ethanol regular gas kills this vehicle sooner than it should and the fuel economy is horrible. I have put a lot of miles on it but never was able to have good gas mileage with this vehicle. I have to say that Ethanol overall in the fuel appears to be killing my cars in rapid fashion. I had a Nissan passenger van that only had about 30,000 miles on it and this vehicle prematurely had to have O2 sensors replaced and a new catalytic converter put in. I had two hyundai before this with no issues like this, so I think there is something going on with the new standards along with the ethanol that is gunking up the fuel and emissions system. This vehicle is horrible in other ways however. It has electrical problems like odd TPMS issues, I have had to replace the fuel pump already and still cannot get any fuel economy. I do everything that is recommended and yet I fill this thing up and before I know it I am at a half tank. Off the lot, I had a failed battery, I had the recall done with the cruise control, I also had some break issues, and the tires for this vehicle are hard to find and don't last. I have never replaced so many tires in any vehicle I have owned. I am having starter issues with the push button start just rolling over continuously. This is a strange vehicle. I would call it a lemon, but that is being nice, I like lemons.
