In my experience, not really only 20-25% is actually quite low imho

Since I have done extensive blending with E85(in all my gas cars) my experience is that around about 35-45% blend of E85 that fuel consumtion starts to rise slightly

At 50/50 blend fuel consumtion is usually around 15% higher

At 75% E85 and 25% Gas consumtion is around 25% higher



This mercedes seems to only handle around 25-26% E85 until it starts to lose power, there are plans on increasing fuelpressure so I can blend 50/50, time will tell
