In Cincinnati Ohio, "E-85" fuel is selling for about 30 cents a gallon less than standard, regular unleaded fuel (not a $1.30 difference). The price of E-85 fuel has risen at about the same pace as regular unleaded fuel.
It will cost more to operate a vehicle with E-85 fuel than regular unleaded at that price difference, since E-85 fueled vehicles get significantly less mpg (and yes I know it has a higher octane rating).
