At least it feals better at the time, otherwise it is well over 100 bucks

asuming his real gas is near $4.00, gotta be saving more than .55

in 06 it WAS 50 cents less.... 2.25 < 2.75

Otherwise, you're better off paying the extra cash for good 'ol regular gas.



Another fun fact. GM has over 2,000,000 E85 capable vehicles on the road TODAY. If each and every one of those vehicles burned E85 exclusively, we would save over 2 billion gallons of gas a year.

great
