E85 FlexFuel Engine
Suburban can give new meaning to the phrase "living off the land." The E85 FlexFuel Vortec 5.3L V8 engine that's standard on half-ton 4x4 models and available on half-ton 2WD models operates on either regular unleaded gasoline or E85 — a blend of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline — or a combination of both.
- Because ethanol is made primarily from organic, domestic resources, E85 is a mostly renewable fuel that can help reduce our dependence on petroleum.
- E85 is a cleaner-burning fuel source, which helps reduce smog-forming emissions.
- Plus, E85 ethanol fuel generally has a higher octane rating than regular unleaded gasoline, which can result in slightly higher horsepower and torque levels.
- Chevy has over 2 million E85-capable FlexFuel vehicles on the road.
