I had a Taurus that was E-85 and was urged to try it. My experience over three tankfuls starting with nearly empty tank was a reduction in mileage of a bit over 20%, 22 to 17 MPG in similar driving. But the savings in price was less than 20% at prices a few years ago.
I agree that fuel to plant, transport, cook and distill the alcolhol was a waste as it did not produce more fuel than it was worth. The only reason it was cheaper was motor fuel tax discounts from the state and federal governments.
