Anybody seen the specs for hp/torque output for a 2011 5.3 when running on E85?

• 315 horsepower (235 kW) at 5,200 rpm – Chevrolet Silverado / GMC Sierra, gas

THanks for that. A little less than 4 % gain then. Have you tried the E85 and if so could you notice any power difference at all?

My use of E85 is purely on a cost basis as with any fuel choice. Whatever offers the lowest cost per mile. Right now, and for most of the year, it has been E15. I have a general idea of what the fuel economy is with various fuels.... regular, E10, E15, E20, E30, and E85. Depending on prevailing prices, I make my fuel choice on what offers lowest cost per mile. Any perceived performance gains or losses are barely noticeable to most folks.

 

For instance, say I can average 16 mpg on E10, which is now around $2.10 in my area. That is a tad over 13 cents a mile cost. On E85, average mpg usually drops to around 12. The current cost is $1.59 a gallon. That is 13.25 cents a mile. Basically the same. E15 in my area is running about $2 a gallon. I get virtually the same mpg as E10. So at 16 mpg, that comes in at 12.5 cents a mile. The cheapest cost right now. Non ethanol regular and premium is priced into the stratosphere to make either of them not worth it.

 

Back when gas was double what it is now, E85 was the go to fuel. There was a dollar or more lower in price and it was the cheapest thing to run.
