E85 isn't 85 octane. Not sure what the octane rating is. IIRC it's 85% ethanol. Not all cars can use it. Might be 85% gasoline. But I think 85% Ethanol, makes sense. I'd stay away from it if the car isn't made for it. I think it's less expensive but fuel mileage isn't nearly as good as regular ol gasoline. Keeps us less dependent on furrin' oil tho.

PS I would have bet on the caps too. Haven't been messing with the spark plugs? You're better off with the recommended plugs on this car.
