Road trip w/o E85

It seems I learned something new. My apologies! I'll have to try premium again. I haven't since my 09 Tahoe.

I loose 25% fuel mileage with E85, and I'm at the station 25% more often. Therefore E85 has to be at least 25% cheaper for me to use it, which it is NOT. E85 is the total American scam.

from what ive learned is using E85 is a wash. There is no real savings but as a bonus you get more power. I can definitely tell a difference especially when towing. But I run E85 all the time.

I wouldn't really call it a wash.. It costs more, harder to find and returns worse MPGs.

No way it's a wash, unless you find it 25% cheaper than 87 octane.

I didnt buy my 6.2L Denali with worries about mileage, though I know some do. But really thats like buying a corvette and worrying about what kind of gas mileage your getting .

Forget about mileage. Do you like to be at the gas station 25% more often ????

doesnt bother me. I drive alot for work. Usually around 200 miles a day average. Its nice to stop and get out, stretch the legs, use the bathroom, or get a beverage. I'm at a gas station about once a day, takes less then 10 minutes. If your fishing for me to complain about E85 its not likely, except that I wish more stations offered it.

Yea I seen that... And think their debunking methods were crap lol. Way to many variables. But I can tell you that when adding timing to a engine you usually want an higher octane That way your. It on the edge of knock, so yes, higher octane fuels allows to to do that. Obviously, if your vehicle isnt tunes for it or a specific type of performance, it's a wash.
