It does support E-85. There hasn't been many mileage reports that I've found with E-85 but here's a link to a post where someone mentioned a drop:

I have been wanting to try it, but I haven't been able to find any between NE North Carolina, and Central PA. I would image between the slightly lower price and the slightly reduced milage it would be a wash in the end. I guess you could get a warm and fuzzy knowing you aren't putting out as much emissions.

Wouldn't put that crap in my new truck if you paid me. The loss of gas mileage more than offsets the slightly lower fuel costs. Using ethanol in gas is the most moronic thing we have ever come up with. As far as emissions go, it's just as dirty just a different type of pollution than gas produces.

I'm not trying to start an argument thread, I just know very little about E85 and this article is very educational for those interested.

I really like the way it runs it feels like it has alot more torque than it has on reg gas.
I get around 9 to 10 mph with it short trips and around town. I get around 11 to 12 when I use reg gas in it.
I would not run anything but E85 in my truck.
I did get a tuner from Mike at 5 star and it did really bring the truck to life.
I have allways had Diesels before this I have had 7.3, 6.0, 6.4 and dodge cummins 5.9 and 6.7 I will not go back to a diesel after having this 6.2 gas.
I have a F250 CC 4X4 with 3.73 gears I also tow a 34' 11000# travel trailer

I live here in iowa so I don't get into the montains But for the hills around here and the flats it pulls as well as my Diesels did. I will run higher RPMs and will pull in 5th gear 50% of the time. But I will not go back to a Diesel After running this truck
If I went any larger with my camper I would go with the 4.30 gear.
My camper is 34" Holiday Rambler Pres. travel trailer with 2 slides

Thanks for all the input. It sounds like performance doesn't suffer but mpgs do. Where i'm located, E-85 is only .20 less than 87 octane so from an economical standpoint, its probably a wash at best. I friend from Mn. said up there its .50 - .60 less than gas which would make it more tempting.
