Tried e85 in my 2002 suburban and got ~12.25MPG. The tank before I got 16.34MPG on regular unleaded. Same driving routine, similar conditions, etc.

Using the current pump prices at the closest e85 station: e87 is at $2.67 per gallon. With the mileage drop, it is like paying $3.63 per gallon of regular. (Unleaded regular is $2.97 at the same station.)

The numbers just don't work for me.

I would consider e85 if it was ethanol from non-food sources. As it is now, I would pay more at the pump and increase the cost of corn and food prices across the board.

No thanks!

....It does smell good though....
