Ethanol has 60% of the BTUs of gasoline, meaning if your vehicle gets 20 MPG on gasoline it would get 12 MPG on pure ethanol.
E15 would give you 18.8 MPG.
Aside from the damage it does to your engine seals.

The lower energy per liter (or BTU value) - mean that the fuel cost savings (which almost nobody actually sees anyway) is lost in the increased consumption.
