E85
Not only will you lose MPG using E85, it also can damage your vehicle: http://washingtonexaminer.com/study-...rticle/2520078
E85 for a stock N/A truck you will lose MPG and see little to no performance gains or loses.
BUT E85 is about 105-110 octane so alot of race/street cars are switching to this. It requires a bigger fuel system to flow the amount of fuel needs it uses 25-30% more fuel than non ethanol fuels but the cooling factor and high octane allows guys to run there race tunes all the time and its much cheaper than racefuel at the drag.
Just do a quick google search for power gains after switching to E85. The results will surprise you!

On a stock vehicle you E85 is not much better than getting hammered on corn liquor and draining the kidney filtered remains into your gas tank.
Corn should be used to make whiskey and taco chips, not fuel!

this is true. corn is a poor feed stock for ethanol. cellulistic ethanol production is a better process. it just needs to be perfected. it uses stuff like miscanthus (african prairie grass) to make ethanol. miscanthus is not edible so it does not take food from our table too.
