E85 or just regular GAS?
My 2011 F150 is my first flex-fuel vehicle and I have mixed feelings on whether or not to use E85 in it. Mostly, it comes down to the effects it may have on the engine life. I also know that gas mileage is not as good and there are other environmental reasons that E85 is not all that some crack it up to be...
Who here has opinions on this? Gas prices are making E85 look like an option that is worth considering, but is E85 just not a good option?

First time I've heard of this. Ford recommends one tank of non E85 (regular gas) at every oil change if you run E85 gas on a regular basis. I'm not sure if 30 cents less a gallon is worth it.

It's 75 cents lower here in MN. 30 cents is definitely not worth it as far as economy goes.

Wow, at 75 cents it may be worth it, here in Maryland it's the same price as regular gas (where you can find it) which makes it a complete waste of money! BTW if your curious or planing a long trip there is a E85 Price watch site: e85prices.com which lists the price delta by State. Not Surprising Iowa has the greatest difference, E85 is showing > 21% price difference over regular gas.
