I'd like to see a BTU/ gallo rating for E-85.
I don't believe that it is effective to make it out of corn (sorry Midwest).
I do Believe it is effective to make out of sugar cane.
I do believe it is (and will be come more so) effective o make out f switch grass.

In my state (big sugar cane growing) it was illegal to use Ethanol made from sugar cane in a on road motor vehicle until last year. However there are (were then) 2 plants making Ethanol out of sugar cane for use in Europe (as far as I know un-subsidized).
