I use to do a 40 min drive to get my son from school and it would burn about a 1/4 tank or so. On E85 I burn nearly 2/3'rds my tank damn! I play with a little won't lie but it's crazy noticeable how much faster it burns ethanol over 93. I literally see my needle move just doing one hit!! No kidding you need one hell of a fuel system to push 1000 horse on ethanol. I can only imagine how much of that fuel is running through that motor at WOT.
I was initially bragging to my fiance about how much cheaper E85 is and how much money I would be saving haha yeah right! I burn like twice as much for the same distance! Got to love it ya pay to play!

Yeah, I always heard 30% more but damn it's truly crazy how fast it goes. I am just not used to it yet not to mention only ONE gas station within an hour of me sells it so it's like GOLD lol.

IDK if there's a benefit of E85 over " pump gas" Compared to running race fuel at 7.00+/gallon, that's where the savings is. You need roughly 60% more E85 compared to gasoline.
