E85

[Scottydoggs]

wish i had e85 here, id have swapped over a long time ago. its free hp really.

most times this comes up it seems you break even on cost to run it, with the loss of mpg and how much cheaper e85 costs. comes out about the same cost at the end of the month.

It isnt really widely available here either but (unfortunately) i drive enough that I pass 2 or 3 stations regularly with it. Have filled up past two tanks with e85. seems the "winter" e85 is about gone hopefully, showing 76% ethanol on current tank

Filled up again today. Price is now $1.99.
Drove 283.6 miles and it took 23.3 gallons.

Unleased went down to $2.15 also.

That's .17 cents a mile as you paid $2.09 for the fuel you just used up. 12.1 mpg on the DIC right? Not bad and the motor loves it, like feeding a horse sugar cubes.

I don't have the DIC buttons yet but that's on my list of things to do

Ethanol still $1.99 and regular is $2.12. Filled up with 20.3 gal and got 232.8 miles on that tank. Wish I had a tuner so I could see how high the percentage is.

Still .17 cents a mile. My last fill up was .27 cents a mile!

i just use a little bluetooth obd2 device($10-15) with torque app ($5), 20 dollar investment keeps a pretty good eye on common things

Trying out this corn fuel stuff. I've heard good and bad about it. I'll post my results here.
87 octane 16 mpg.
Filled up with E85 at $2.09gal with about an eighth of a tank of 87 left. It's about 2 miles out of my way going to work. Regular 87 was $2.49gal.
