I've been playing with E85 blends recently with the Stratus, it seems that the scangage needs to be recalibrated for each blend, I started recording trips with blends and decided the numbers weren't any good, have to wait till refills IMO.

We just got a 2010 FFV Impala so just starting to get some data on it. Last tank of E85 netted 24 mpg or $0.11/mile. Would have to get 34 mpg at current E10 price to match cost wise. So far my wife gets 29 mpg mixed driving with E10. I've averaged 34 mpg with E10 on 70 mile day trip with 10 of it city.

I have a hard time worring about the corrosiveness of something if you get before the add the gas can be drunk.
