E85?

I am curious what your results will be. We just saw e85 for sale in Sierra Vista for 2.13! We pulled in thinking it was the gas price, but that was 2.45 for the cheapest unleaded.

There is also a place in Apache Junction that sells it. It is on Apache Trail in the area of Ellsworth? I looked into it for our Tahoe several years back when gas prices where at their peak. It was quite a bit cheaper but after doing some math, I determined the loss in MPG combined with driving a few extra miles to fill my tank made it not worth it.

It's cheaper because they waive the highway tax on it. This govt subsidizing is totally unamerican if you ask me. This is coming from a guy who farms himself. I believe in free markets and E85 is complete BS. Same as wind energy. The govt subsidizes the heck out of it until it pencils out and then after doing that for a few years they pull out and wreck and entire industry in the process. I raise corn and personally will drive out of my way to fill at a station that sells pure gasoline (not E10 which is what almost all gas is)

i have a flex fuel silverado with the 5.3 as well. my truck does not like it. Save a couple bucks or lose a few mpg? double edged sword for sure

My old work car I drove on E85 for over a year. Positive side, I seemed to have more horsey under the hood, negative as stated above the fuel economy declines. Also make sure to run regular gas threw the engine once in a while or the E85 stuff will create a build up in your engine.
