If you have a high compression engine you won't see much of a drop off at all. My Freestyle with 10:1 compression sees no difference between 10% ethanol and "regular". My old Gran Marquis with a lazy 4.6 V8 did lose 1 or 2 MPG. If you have an E85 compliant vehicle mileage drops off about 20% when using E85 vs "regular".

Our food prices are so low it�s blamed for creating the fattest country on earth.
