BUSTED: why some of you complain about you car's performance on E85
Today in World Opinion: “We are not getting gas that starts out as 87, 89, or 92 [octane]…it is obviously bad for the consumer who doesn’t know any better.”

He informed me that in many cases the oil companies are blending the ethanol with gas that is 85 or even 83 RON. We are not getting gas that starts out as 87, 89, or 92 RON and then ethanol added, which we know should improve performance. This would explain why motorists are reporting a greater than expected loss in MPG’s; especially at E85. While this is clearly a way for the oil companies to cut corners and make more money it is obviously bad for the consumer who doesn’t know any better”
