What I was talking about though, was E85. You actually get worse gas mileage with it, which the only upside to that would be that its cheaper than standard gas, but around here (and alot of places), its only a little cheaper and doesn't really make it any better of a choice than normal gas. I'm not sure how the standard gas with the 10% ethanol helps gas mileage on a fuel injected motor, just mine, and I get worse gas mileage AND performance.

Set up your engine properly and you'll be surprised. You could either set an engine for more power or better efficiency, but the point of Ethanol specially the ones made from sugar canes, is the renewable factor of it. Doesn't higher octane gas have higher amount of Ethanol (Maybe Methanol) in it? I know E85 is 105 octane so it's almost like using 110 race gas.
