Look at the difference between the cost of running gasoline and ethanol in a Titan! No wonder it isn't catching on.

yep ethanol requires more energy to burn vs gasoline so the more ethanol the poorer the fuel economy

This is why E85 is 50 cents cheaper per gallon here in MO. I am getting about 10 mpg with E85, versus about 13 with gasoline with a lot of stop and go. With the cost difference up here, it evens out almost exactly, so I just use E85 out of principle.

glad to hear that you are one up for the environment. I couldn't use E85 even if my truck was capable of it... the closest E85 station is about 45 miles away, not worth my time.
