[QUOTE="Elm Creek Smith, post: 2492939, member: 32710"] I rented a 3.6 liter "multifuel" Caravan for two weeks for my wife to take a business trip. (Her 2008 Kia Rondo was showing signs of age that we hadn't fixed yet.) On regular unleaded (E10) it got 21 mpg around town. On E85 it got 16 mpg around town and performance suffered, too. On the highway, the differences in fuel mileage were roughly proportional with nearly 30 mpg on regular unleaded (E10) and around 23 mpg on E85. With the "lower price" of E85 at the pump (not in real life since it is heavily subsidized) we got more "miles per dollar" from regular unleaded (E10) and performance was much better on E10 than E85. Ethanol is a scam! [/QUOTE]
