I bought this car used, and it is E85/Flex Fuel rated. E85 is selling for about $2.10/gal here, and regular gas about $2.60. What kind of mileage drop off woud I see if I filled up with E85 every third or fourth fill-up? Would it make sense to do this?

When using E85 fuel there is about a 25% drop off in mileage. E85 needs to be priced at least.50 cents a gallon less than regular fuel to be workable. It won't matter if you use E85 or regular fuel in your car all the time as it's made for either. The choice is up to you whether it makes sense or not as you would see how the mileage went or goes as you drive it.
