The North Aurora Woodmans is holding steady at $3.39 for E85 and has 87 E10 at $3.81 and 93 E10 was $4.09. Considering prices near home are still in the $4.14-$4.19 range for 87 E10, it would have been worth the drive even if I was filling it with gas!

E85 is priced as low at $2.99 in Michigan today, with E10 gasoline over $4.29 at many locations, E85 is a much better deal.

I noticed it last year too, but thought it was because the engine was still fresh, it doesn't even have 14k on it yet.

You may be experiencing different stations using higher ethanol % during this month. I believe June is when the change is made to full 85%. 85% vs 70% may give your car a different mpg.

While I didn't pay attention to the Thorntons last weekend Prof (actually, I forgot to look), that Speedway had a 51% stixker on it instead of the 70% sticker like Woodmans usually has. I figured that should have been the case too, but mileage and performance seems to suffer, shouldn't it be one or the other that suffers when the ethanol content changes?

WhiskeyBurner - E85 can range down to E70 or so. Various retailers may be selling differing percentages of ethanol/gasoline. Your vehicle may well perform better on one mix % than it does on another.

Bought from Woodmans this time, for some reason the power and mileage is better on their's than the other two in my 200?!

$2.85 at Holiday 420 66th Ave N & Hwy 252. Noticed they are now selling at 80 cents lower than 87 octane. Used to be $1.20 a gallon cheaper. Still 80 cents a gallon cheaper than gasoline is a no-brainer to run E85.

York, NE E85 $3.39 / gasohol $3.69
I bot gasohol in Grand Island at $3.44. Their E85 was $3.29.

I have been using E85 over 3 weeks with all driving conditions. Haven't summarized results yet. With gas coming down slightly and corn going up, I have to go back to gasohol.

We're running at $3.25 here in Grand Rapids, Michigan. 87 Octane is going for between $3.79 and $3.99

I use E85 every chance I get because the ethanol is locally produced. However, if you're just shopping price, you want E85 to be 85% or less of the price of 87 Octane to be at the "break-even point" when taking fuel mileage into account.

Some specialists on this ethanol forum will disagree with the 85% number, but 85% is the "general rule of thumb".
