It was 30%. The octane gain is real. I never got spark knock.The fuel lines did not decompose. The injectors were fine. The main issue I had was getting it. Thats why I switched back to premium gas. Not available everywhere. I was not interested in emissions or the farmers. I just wanted the octane.

Yep. I run E85 in my F250 and I've found the cost savings vs drop in mileage to pencil out enough to make E85 somewhat desirable.
