Yeah it is the same if you drive your boosted E85 Corvette like an old lady 99.999% of the time. E85 is only about 50 cents cheaper these days.
Bottom line guys...if you have a boosted Vette and are complaining and worrying about gas mileage, then please sell it. If it is that big of a deal or if you cannot afford the extra gas, then you have no business owning a car like that!
In other words...stop 8itching/crying about gas mileage...these cars are not about that!

Whose cryin about gas mileage? I see some comments about E85 not being a good value compared to gas but not really 8itching about mileage in general. Y2KRoadster I love your passion! 
Just to be clear about why I asked the question, its cheaper, 80cents in my area, but I didn't realize the drop in MPG was so large. I like my MPG cause if I'm out of the boost its pretty darn good.
One thing I knew about E85 going in was its safer for the motor, if tuned correctly of course. My thinking was it could be an alternative to adding meth for safety, but in the end I don't see it adding up that way. 
Ok, thanks and carry on all!
