The heating value of denatured alcohol is roughly half that of unleaded gasoline. The more alcohol in the blend the lower the power and mileage the unmodified car has.
I say unmodified because E85 has 100 octane and can tolerate much higher compression and spark advance than RUG - both beneficial to engine efficiency.
I avoid it like the plague.
