What is rarely discussed is that vehicles designed to run on E85 fuel get significantly less mileage using E85 fuel compared to using non-ethanol unleaded fuel (or fuel that has 10% or less ethanol).
Why would anyone want to convert a vehicle to run on E85 fuel and reduce their fuel mileage significantly?
GM is touting the number of new vehicles designed to run on E85 fuel, but the company does not talk about the reduced mileage.

Well I can see your stance may hold some truth to people that only use the cheapest gas (regular unleaded). Those of us who have to use Supreme, E85 is much more beneficial, cost-wise. Supreme is $3.25 here in vs E85 $2.69.
