blendedwithMMTprovidesnoperformanceadvantage
beyond gasoline of the same octane number without
MMT. Gasoline blended with MMT reduces spark plug
life and reduces emission system performance in some
vehicles. The manufacturer recommends that gasoline

NOTE: The 2.7L engine is now rated for E85 Ethanol
use(EXCEPTCALIFORNIAEMISSIONSTATES).Only
vehicleswiththeE-85fuelfillerdoorlabelcanoperateon
E-85. For more information, see “Flexible Fuel” in this
section.
It is even more important to look for gasolines without
MMT in Canada, because MMT can be used at levels
higherthanthoseallowedintheUnitedStates.
Problems that result from using methanol/gasoline or
E85 Ethanol blends are not the responsibility of the
manufacturer. While MTBE is an oxygenate made from
Methanol,itdoesnothavethenegativeeffectsofMetha-
nol.
MMT is prohibited in Federal and California reformu-
latedgasolines.
