There should not be, IF your vehicle is set up to use it, typically identified by a "Flex Fuel" nameplate somewhere on the car or truck. One advantage of E85 is reduced contamination in the lubricant (engine oil), since alcohol burns with considerably fewer byproducts than gasoline. The biggest drawback is reduced fuel economy, which can vary a bit between vehicles, but is pretty much universal. E85 simply contains less energy per gallon than gasoline. It therefore requires more E85 to drive the same distance, as compared with gas. Whether or not it makes economic sense to use E85 is up to individual drivers.
If your car or truck was made before about 2006, it is very unlikely that it can use anything other than gasoline. Putting E85 into a vehicle designed to run only on gasoline will cause very many problems, and can even severely damage the fuel system.

Modern engines can run some Ethanol. Modern gasoline engines are now set up to run E10, which is a mixture of 10% ethanol. To use higher percentages like E85, which is 85% Ethanol, engines need appropriate seals, hoses and engine settings (timing, etc.). Vehicles set up to run E85 have been selling for a number of years and are sold as "Flex Fuel" vehicles. Such vehicles have a fuel sensor in the fuel line to monitor the mix of gasoline and ethanol present and adjust the engine appropriately for the fuel being used. Either all gasoline can be used or any mixture of ethanol up to 85% ethanol (E85). Running E85 in a vehicle not set up for this mixture will damage seals and fuel lines.
