| IN555 - 3/28/2026 13:58 You are saying E-30 gets more than double the fuel milage of e85? My calculator says there is a 113% difference in price. And above you said how bad people are at math.
Sure the E85 is priced right, if you're driving one of the 7% of vehicles on American roads that is Flex Fuel.
For 93% of vehicles on the road, E-85 isn't an option regardless of price. E-30 will work fine in any vehicle that burns gas and it is priced better than E-15 and E-50 (which is also a real stretch for non FFV) in the example given.
Unknowing people putting E-85 into non FFV's because its "cheap" does a lot of collateral damage to the ethanol "brand". After an incident involving ethanol, they are often turned off for life regardless of how/why it happened.
