My car has the red circle “don’t” sign printed on the gas filler. I was at a gas station the other day that had very cheap 88 octane “Eco” gas. I had never seen it before, and certainly haven;t seen gas below $3 in several years.
I thought about throwing some in the tank, but realized saving a few dollars on gas was not worth potentially damaging my car or aspects of the vehicle that I might not be aware of.
I presume Eco gas has methanol added to it, but why is it a problem for my car and is 88 just as bad as 85 for my vehicle/why?

Does it say no eco 85, or no E85?
E85 is 85% ethanol, which is why you cant use it unless the engine was specifically designed for such.
