It'll drop gas mileage by more than 10%, I can tell you that right now. We have a 2010 Silverado that is averaging 17.1 mpg on regular and 10-12 on E85. If it only lost 10%, it would still do better than 15 mpg. Illinois law requires a 10% blend of ethanol, and I get a steady 23 mpg in my IS 300. However, when I fill up in Indiana or Kentucky, I can easily get 25. Needless to say I'm not a big fan of ethanol. But I'm very curious to see if mixing E85 and regular fuel gets you the results you want since I'll have a BEAMS soon.
