ive read extensive research over at TGO about a guy in the midwest using E85 in an dodge strip/street car.

he found the car had to be jetted 146% more with the E85 which increased fuel comsuption even though the E85 was 106 octane.

With the prices at the time of his research he found that even though he needed 146% more fuel overall he saved 25% on fuel costs over the time of his study.
