Re: E85
There is no savings. Your MPG will decrease by about 20%.

Re: E85
you'll have to put on a butt load of miles to get any return in the cash you'll spend to get it ready for the fuel.
It was a step in the wrong direction, and is getting harder to find in my area. I know some places still have it all over the place, but it is going away. (and I was called an idiot when I predicted this 4 years ago on here) |

Re: E85
As mentioned, the cash savings is negated by the reduced fuel economy. E85 only makes sense if you are building a high compression or high boost engine and need the higher octane rating.
