In my case there is a little more than mileage to consider when comparing cost of E85 to other blends.
My 2013 Tundra specifies oil changes at 5k miles. 0w20 full synthetic. BUT, if using E85 that gets cu in half. An oil change is 8 qts + the filter, which is more expensive that a common spin on. There is no way for the fuel savings to cover an additional $100+, approximate cost at an oil change place, every 2500 miles.
Toyota's reasoning is the combustion products of ethanol deposit an acid in the oil that shortens its' life in that engine. Most Toys specifiy 10k intervals, but not mine, darn it. My dealer provides oil changes for life at the 5k interval, but not 2500, so my costs would really increase with more ethanol!

While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
