http://www.chevrolet.com/content/dam..._080812-1-.pdf


2 E85 FlexFuel capability not available in AZ, CA, CT, MA, MD, ME, NJ, NY, OR, PA, RI, VT and WA.


------------

Although the cars on the dealer lot where I bought have listed as E85 compatible:

Engine, 3.6L DOHC V6 DI with Variable Valve Timing (VVT) includes E85 FlexFuel (gas ethanol) capability, uses gasoline or E85 FlexFuel (305 hp [227.4 kW] @ 6800 rpm, 264 lb-ft of torque [356.4 N-m] @ 5200 rpm)


Several screen shot of my vehicle on the same website from November shows the same thing about engine being E85 compatible.


Edit: That's probably referencing E85 availability .. and not whether or not the can is built with it. PA does now have E85 stations very sparse in the state.

I don't think there are any e85 filling stations in Canada. Is it widespread in the US?

in usa lots of maps..

E85 Stations | E85 Vehicles
Flex Fuel Station Finder | Ethanol Retailer

I just see a couple posts when googling for Canada.


Although this one has my interest (Ethanol Free)

Ethanol-free gas stations in the U.S. and Canada
