Ethanol doesn’t burn as well as gasoline so by increasing it’s concentration by volume you will have to burn more fuel to get the same energy. So unless they drop the price at the same time it’s actually going to be more money out of your pocket every month. Also ethanol attracts moisture and will damage fuel systems in older vehicles when the concentration increases. The newer cars use a different kind of rubber/plastic lines the older stuff will brake down over time. Either way if they only approve it for 01 and up vehicle gas stations still have to sell the regular E10. THIS. E85 burns 25-30% less efficient than pump gas w/o ethanol.
