With the current gas price situation, I have been debating whether or not to run E88 in my Ranger (2002 2.3L 5-speed manual 2wd). Everything I have googled says that E88 can be used in any vehicles produced 2001 and beyond without issues. I know that E85 needs to be used in a flex fuel system but results on E88 seem to be mixed. The manual states that 87 is recommended, which is what I have been running, but doesn't say anything specific about E88. It only mentions to only use flex fuel in flex fuel engines. Any info would help. Thanks!
