I hope you are joking, right? The average decrease in fuel economy with E85 is around 25% but it only costs approximately 5% less than regular unleaded. So you are essentially willing to pay 20% more to drive the same distance just because psychologically it feels better to fill up at $60 as opposed to $80?

EDIT: That is fine if your main objective is to be more environmentally friendly or to do your part to ease our reliance on foreign oil, but it doesn't make sense if you are just trying to save a few bucks.
