ABSOLUTELY NOT. Do not put E85 in any Hyundai vehicle, it will damage the seals in the fuel system and void your warranty. Hyundai has issued a bulletin about this. The highest concentration of Ethanol you can put in a Hyundai is 10%.

No, no, no...ethanol is a bunch of B.S. anyway.

I recall somebody did this a few years back and it caused eventual engine failure.

Basically...

Pros - Telling people that you run clean on E85.

Cons - Telling people that you can't run on anything since you blew your engine.

Don't do it.
