E85 prices.

That's interesting. I figured the loss depended on the engine. But I'm not able to test a large group of vehicles to find the ones that get low loss.

Put in a few gallons today at $2.98/gallon. Been blending up to around 30% when a blender pump cannot be found. If I stay on the highway I get comprable mileage.

If I go above 30-ish% or spend much time in WOT my check engine light comes on.

The real benefit would be with engines that have higher compression ratios. Spark timing can be greatly advanced also if you have the ability to access/modify that info. On an engine dyno with a 4cyl bike engine we were able to advance well past 45* without any signs of knock or erratic EGT's.

I was going to say that the reason for the price shift was the fact that the $0.46/gal subsidies ran out at the first of the year, but then I saw this:

The reason I made this thread was that after the VEETC ended the Ethanol market bottomed out. That was almost 4 months ago and Ethanol is still trading for a dollar less than Gasoline. I figured the prices at the pump should have caught up by now. I've been watching local E85 prices but they kept pace with Gasoline just slowly spreading out.
