Flex fuel vehicles

I have a Flex fuel vehicle, 2000 Grand Caravan. I've never found any E85 to try in it. If I found some, It would have to have an advantageous price before I would try it. I would like to get some for my turbo Caravan though. Like to see how it goes after I crank up the boost and advance the timing.

E-85 can be found at quite a few stations in this area (of course our legislators are pushing ethanol hard - 10% is mandatory, 20% will be mandatory in several years).

Most stations are pricing it exactly 40 cents a gallon below the regular unleaded price. Assuming your mileage goes down 20% using it, the 40 cent diferential makes it no cheaper to use with regular unleaded running anything aboe $2 a gallon (currently around 2.59 or so).

Cheaper to buy? Yes. Cheaper to burn? Questionable at current pricing.
