Default E85 Ethanol Engine?

Today I saw a brand new 07 with dealer tags that on the back it had a E85 ethanol badge on the back. I didnt realize that dodge has engines that were capable of running ethanol. I wasnt able to look if it had the hemi badge or not. Just wonderin

4.7, not a Hemi. 2007 Rams were the first Rams to have it, Durangos had it in 06.

I don't know where your from ,but here on the East Coast were all using ethenol in our gas. Just check the pumps. It's ten percent for now. But Uncle Sam is going to screw us into using more real soon.

they have been using ethanol in gasoline, which they are calling gasohol (also known as E10) which is a mixture of 10% ethanol and 90% gasoline. E85 is nice because it reduces alot of the normal emissions but does not provide the fuel mileage that gasoline does. another draw back of it is that it doesnt have the BTU output of gasoline, gasoline has an output of approx 115-125,000 BTU while E85 is only 89,000 BTU.

DCX had flex fuel vehicles back in 1998, with the 3.3L V6 in the old minivans.
