Most people simply don"t do the math, especially in a long-term, accurate and controlled study. Now, here, some "claim" 10% reduction in fuel economy by going from regular gas to E10, which we"ve had for decades. No, I don"t mean methanol (gasohol- a totally different product, which DID cause problems).
I"ve had flex fuel vehicles since "04, mileage drops around 11%, but if the E85 is 40 cents under E10, I"m $ ahead. I"ve seen even a 90 cent margin. How much do I save at that level? And, it"s US generated fuel!!!!!

But it"s easier to bellyache about the unknown, or mandated, cuz someone is always out to get them.
