NONE. While it take us away from gas. Not enough to make it cost effective. By putting so much demand on corn it drives up Food & feed cost. It will not save us at all. Plus the milage per gallon is alittle less

Cheaper than gas or deisel and cleaner burning. The onyl thing is you nee a Flex-Fuel Vehicle to use it. I'd say go for it though, anything to save some money to buy more tackle

Difficult...It's renewable and clean, but it drives food prices up, which helps struggling American farmers, but hurts other struggling Americans......Tough choice, but your personal preference.

Make sure your vehicle can run it first! Then don't bother. My truck gets 25% less MPG running it or worse. I run biodiesel in my car when I can find it and there is a negligible loss of MPG with it. IMO E85 is just not worth it when made from corn stock. In other countries where it has been successful it was made from sugar cane.

I dont care about the price differance. I think if it takes away from the 5 billion dollar giants that make huge quarterly earning while we struggle at the pump , then I would pay more for E-85 , and yes , my vehicle will run on it , otherwise I wouldnt ask.

Generally, you can run E-85 in most all cars, except maybe the really old ones. All it will do is burn-up your valves and gaskets, and probably end up seizing up the engine.
