If you do the math, (and the fuel reatilers don't gouge on E85) the cost to fill up an E85 vehicle's larger tank and a straight gasser's tank is supposed to be equal, and the result an equal number of miles driven. The benefits are then mainly environmental and to the U.S. economy instead of some foreign oil nation.
