[QUOTE="snow, post: 360474, member: 1056"] As a GM employee for many years,my engineering GM contacts claimed all EPA ratings for E85 rated engines were tested 100% e85 at speeds between 62 to 65mph ,trucks w/o payload lost 10% mpg Further it's recommended to use regular 87oct for light duty trucks under load or trailering. My experience using E85 on road trips ,cruise set at 65mph 5.3lit engine,little to no head wind 15mpg, next return trip regular 87oct 19 to 21mpg Further it takes two full tanks of 87octane to fully flush out E85 residue.
