i was reading this,
http://www.edmunds.com/fuel-economy/...ison-test.html
it seems it does have a higher octane, but in terms of better for the environment and MPG its not better. they even said they pollute the same. they said the E85 was slower. but was also saying that may be because of how the engine was programmed to run.
what i am most interested in is the higher octane level.
