It's not E88. It's 88 octane, or grade, numerically between 87 (pretty standard for Regular) and 89 octane.

Don't confuse 88 octane rating with E85. E85 is (up to) 85% ethanol, the rest gasoline. Typical unleaded gasoline is up to 10% ethanol, or E10. The key difference with 88 is that it's 15% ethanol. So, 88 octane is essentially E15, not E85.

So no, you don't need a Flex Fuel designated vehicle. You may want to check your manual to see the max ethanol content recommended, but it's only going from the 10% ethanol you already run, up to 15%, something many modern vehicles will have little issue with.
The wiki is wrong and this person seems to be downvoting anyone who disagrees. This is not 85 for flex fuel. 88 octane E15 is "considered safe" for models made 2001 and later. It's fine if you disagree with it but let's not act like your word is the authority. YOU DO NOT NEED A FLEX FUEL TO RUN THIS
Our Honda CR-V and Subaru Forester both say not to use E15 in the owner's manual.

Is this e88 gas only for flex fuel vehicles? I did a quick Google search and it seems so, but I am unfamiliar with this flex fuel stuff.

https://unl88.com [unl88.com] Contains 15% ethanol compared to most other gas that can be up to 10% ethanol. Says it's safe for all cars 2001 and newer.

That said, I only run it when I get a rental car. A hybrid + $2 unl88 = ~$0.04/mile, cheaper than an EV!

The majority of cars made on or after 2001 can accept 15% Ethanol as part of their fuel.
