Recommended Posts

I've had my truck since 2002, and have yet to try E85.....since I can't find any stations around here that sell it.

Yeah, the HEB grocery store here near Ft Hood carries it. I have used it when I'm low on cash and need some gas. It generally runs about 40-50 cents cheaper than Unleaded. But the down side is poorer fuel economy cause it take more E85 to make the same horsepower. So, I drop from 17-18mpg to 11-12mpg. Also, it's not recommended for towing situations either...

 

 

Yeah the ones they have in NY are govt/state only

I get a consistent 25% reduction in mpg using e85. In my area it's 30 cents cheaper than regular...it costs me more to burn it. In order for it to be more economical, it would have to be more than 50 cents cheaper. I've decided to pass on it for now.
