No E85 used in my truck. I think the gas stations in this area trypically have about 10-15% ethanol.

I know lots of guys including myself that have had 5.4s that burned oil since new. I have heard anywhere between 1/4 quart and a quart between oil changes. Its really not a big deal and very common in these motors as well as many others. I know the Dodge 5.2L did as well.
