E85 is a fuel that has 15 % ethanol added to the mixture.

Hydro is right, also dont know where you got those numbers.....

I dont agree with the Obama bailouts, but the government has been doing stuff I dont agree with my whole life. So I just dont worry about things I cant control and buy the vehicle I want. Love my Chevy. (besides it's all the automobile union's fault anyway, no offense)
I don't think it's necessarily fair to lay the blame for the bailouts and bankruptcy at the feet of the union. Not saying they helped any, but Ford has the same union and similar contracts as GM and Chrysler.

You are right, it wasnt all the union that made their problems.

Google it, E85 is 85% ethanol with 15% gasoline

This stuff is a whole different animal from unleaded blended with 10-15% ethanol...
