I run e85 and flex fuel sensor in my turboed small block street car. Works great. Where I am ethanol ranges from 70-85%.

I run E85 in my avalanche maybe once a month....its a nice wake up for the truck...seems peppier but it sure burns through it A LOT quicker!
The only thing i have heard about running E85 is to make sure you are as empty as possible when switching over from gas to E85 and visa-versa and put in more then 5 gallons or the computer wont know you have switched and that's when people start having issues running their vehicles on different fuels...
Around here the E85 is about .50 cheaper then regular....so for me it aint worth running E85 for less mileage.....with regular gas i get around 14mpg city driving...with E85 im running 10-11mpg...

IMO there is so much misinformation about e85 on the Internet, mainly by people that have never used it.

Found this guy / shop looking for other things.....https://www.facebook.com/DSX.Tuning
He makes an Ethanol % and Fuel Temp gauge for the GM Flex Fuel Sensors he installs / tunes to convert non flex fuel EfI cars.
This guy seems pretty smart.

14 apache, don't you really need the higher compression ratio when running alcohol to compensate for the loss in fuel energy? I understand there is advantage when running modified engines for drag racing etc, but I just meant being available at the pump for a daily driver.
