agree ^^^^
My Tahoe is flex and I tried running e85 for 4 tanks just to test- Lost almost 4MPG each tank. Granted cheaper fuel BUT??
When you only get 13-14 to begin with in a truck- imagine that Xs what you burn in a BBC or 2 lol Need twice as much.

Yes.... they call them brarches on one of our local lakes.
Brarch, n- an arch on a ski boat to let one "brah" easily identify other "brahs" without having to actively locate flat bill caps and white frame sunglasses from distance. Most boats with brarches are pulled by trucks with energy drink stickers and only the front end jacked up. "Man, look at all the brarches at the sandbar, are they filming a Monster commercial or taking a break from X-games practice?"

E85 makes so much power tho. Probably not worth it in the Tahoe. Rule of thumb I was always told was burn 20% more but the fuel is 33% cheaper. Still would save 13%. Although I don't have 1st hand experience.

I run E85 in my street cars for years (out of the pumps) and for the first time last season in the boat (Ignite). If the application is setup for it I think it's great stuff.
Just putting E85 in your flexfuel vehicle is not the best comparison. A fair comparison would be E85 vs race fuel.
From my history of it....burns is about 20-30% more (depending how its used). Makes similar HP to C16 at a fraction of the price. More TQ and runs quite a bit cooler
