Kiko I fueled up with e85 and realized that it gave me 100 less mile per tank. Let me know what u find. Mine is doing right around 400 miles per tank reg, 450 if I take it easy, and 370 if I'm on it alot.

Theres a byproduct of ethanol production called DDG's which is used in feed rations. The wet form called gluten is mixed with other products to make cattle feed. Feeding cattle straight corn is a waste
