Autoweek takes a road trip and finds ample E85 outlets with low prices.
I am SO jealous of what some of you guys are paying for E85. If it was $2.15 a gallon at Meijer, I'd be continuing my experiment.

Experiments in running E85 ethanol, mixed with regular 87 octane gasoline, in non-flex fuel vehicles (2004 Acura TL and 2007 Saab 9-3.)

In Southwestern Pa. the price spread is currently 4-5% or in other words 10-11 cents cheaper per gallon. I tried to use an E20-30 blend as often as possible. The mileage (mpg) at this level has a minimum difference -sometimes better-than running E10.
E85 is $1.99 here. E20 (91 octane) is 2.68. Premium is 2.96. My Saab is still a 20% alcoholic LOL.
Hi. I have an 03' Lincoln LS V8. Those have close to 11:1 compression ratios. I mixed a 2:1 ratio of gas/e-85 and it ran gangbusters! Even on the req'd premium fuel I have some spark knock... not a hint of it with that mix.
