Used my first tank of e85 today, I see about the same as the others about a 1.5mpg drop, but well worth the loss in gas mileage. Prices around here are 3.05 unleaded and 2.35 e85. Power was at least the same, no real noticable differences except in the wallet.

Sorry to say but that is true, about 10 miles from my house a e85 plant is going on line and from the newspaper article interviewing the owner: "Nothing is wasted," John Sawyer said.

The final product of fuel ethanol is spiked with 5 percent gasoline, which is a federal mandate so that the ethanol is undrinkable, Michael Sawyer said

I emailed Edge and they said all levels are OK to run with E85. No need to do anything.

THAT WAS 60 YEARS AGO. THAT WAS A DIFFERENT WORLD THEN. THE GOVERNMENT IS SPENDING BILLIONS ON THE WAR. MONEY THAT GETS USED FOR PUBLIC WORKS PROJECTS, SCHOOL, ROAD CONSTRUCTION, AND OTHER THINGS. SINCE THAT MONEY IS NOT THERE THEY ARE NOT USING THE MONEY FOR THE OTHER THINGS.
