stickyvalves Champion Author Iowa Posts:5,413 Points:1,583,530 Joined:Oct 2005	Message Posted: Jun 22, 2011 5:34:07 PM Ignore stickyvalves Report Abuse I don't have a local station offering E85. Have to go out of town. This month the price differential with gasohol is only 15%. so I'm back to using gasohol. I drove 8400 miles in April and May using only E85. During that time my savings was about 8% on a cost per mile calculation. If you can buy it right, enjoy it.

Obviously the couple of other people on this thread have never tried E85 or they'd of noticed the benefits of it right off the bat like we did.
