E85

That's the yellow nozzle. The orange says "Unleaded 88". What is that?

 

[Macvan]

I was confused why have 88 and reg 87

The 88 is non-ethanol.
Its the stuff you want. Some place sell it in 87oct and 91oct. You'll get 2 more mpg using it

Search the interweb...

What is Unleaded 88? Unleaded 88 is a blend of 84 octane gasoline and ethanol. The difference is Unleaded 87 has 10% ethanol and Unleaded 88 has 15% ethanol. The 5% increase in ethanol increases the octane rating to 88.

Definitely NOT non-ethanol, as it contains 5% more ethanol!

There's a gas station near me that has 5 different non ethanol octane brands

Macvan , I would have been confused too! I thought E85 was 15% ethanol but, no, that would make too much sense!

E85 (or flex fuel) is a term that refers to high-level ethanol-gasoline blends typically containing 51% to 83%, depending on geographic location and "season"! The 85 refers to the max ethanol content!
