I don’t mind being corrected, as I didn’t know E85 was gasoline/ethanol mixture.
However, get off your high horse and try posting in a respectful manner.
By the way, I did the math correctly, based on E85 being pure ethanol.

It should have been 70%x.85+100%x.15
See below for your calc. I wonder if those who are paying for E85 realize they arent saving any money? If I remember correctly, ethanol is only 70% as efficient as gasoline. Which means a pretty good drop in mileage. Break even works out to $2.51/gal. (I took 70% of the price of gasoline to arrive at my figure.)
