NO & NO!!!!!!! Do not run E85. Even the newest Honda engines will only accept E10.
Good thing someone answered the important part of his question...

i wonder if honda might have done it on purpose cause all of oursgoes to empty on roughly 12 to 13 gallons.

Same here as yours does..everytime I look at it..

my own personal opinion and knowledge, converting any unleaded gas car to e85 isn't really worth it.. There's not that many stations that sell e85 even though you have one near you. Question: after the one next to you, how far ttill another station that sells it? also, the money you'll send converting it needing new fuel lines, tank, injectors, ect. it'll take you a very, very, long time to make that money back inwhat you've saved using th e85 vs the unleaded.Worth it, maybe not for the value, but then again, if you do decide to do it, how many othe rpeople will be able to say thier cd6 accord runs on e85?

heh, yeah, engines that run e85 are running hotter then any other engine and they are built and reinfoced so it can run e85

and i think only the early 90's didnt have 17 gallon tanks so they set the meter to goto E at about 12 or 13 gallons so people who didnt pay attention to that would go, hey i need gas i better fill up..... cant run out of gas if you dont know you have an extra 4 gallons in the tank ^_^ at least thats my excuse for why it does that lol

It's a great feature to prolong the life of your fuel pump.... if you stay above a 1/4 tank (on most cars) it's MUCH better for the fuel pump and since honda set the E mark and what would normally be about 1/4 tank I'll bet it saves the life on the fuel pump
