E85prices.com currently states that E85 is 13.4% of the cost of regular 87 octane gasoline. Flex fuel vehicles typically see fuel consumption increases of around 30%. So, you save about 13% but use 30% more fuel. So, for every $100 you typically spend on gas, you can expect to spend about $144 for ethanol.
