We were just discussing this last night here... My neighbor has been running it for about 6 months and documenting it, and he's actually at between 19-20% less MPG. He's going back to 87 now.

I just filled up here with e85, first time with this truck and it was 2.09 vs 2.69 for 87 octane. I figured that at 40cents/gal difference, i was breaking even. So I thought I would see how the Ford runs on it. Made my 07 Chev bark when it got a snoot full of that stuff.

F-1Fiddy, Let us know what you think about the E85. I am planning a 3000 mile trip in a couple of months, not towing, just the wife and I and the dog. I would like to know if I stopped at a place that sold it, would it be worth it.

As long as your truck can run on flex fuel, you don't have to wait until your tank is empty; you can run it straight or any mixture of regular gas and e85.
