In your earlier posts you mentioned that E85 was 1.99 a gal. What was the price of regular automobile gas back then.I have never checked the price of E85 as there aren't any gas stations that sell it locally,but there are a couple about 45 miles from here. That's weird because there's an ethonol plant about 5 miles from my house.I have a car that will burn E85,but I never went to those places to try it ,if I was in that town,as I've been told that you get less gas milage with it.Also ethonol attracts moisture and I don't need a frozen gas line in the winter.I put dry gas into my tank at each fillup using the regular 10% ethonol gas.I started to use an additive called Star Tron that counteracts the ethonol and according to one of their techs, my gasline won't freeze up while using it.Plus I seem to be getting a little better gas milage with it in my tank. It only takes a little bit of it at each fillup so a bottle lasts a while.
