Yesterday, while waiting at the dentist office, I was reading an article on alternative fuels in a Popular Science(?) magazine. According to their studies, it takes 57% more E85 to achieve the same results with a gasoline engine. Their example was: If you can travel 20 miles on a gallon of gasoline...with E85, it would take 1.57 gallons to travel the same distance. Or if you apply that to a tractor: If you are burning 4 gallons per hour...with E85 it would increase to 6.28 gph. I don't know if I can believe that, but since I've never tried E85, I have nothing to base a opinion on.
