    No it will not. The 46 percent number isn’t right. While there was some devastation Locally, it’s not toast. Some will be salvageable. On top of the fact we are going to have one of the largest and most successful crop years ever.

    Mine loves 4 gallons of E85 mixed in a tank of 93. Makes 3rd, 4th and 5th gears a little more fun!

    That reminds me, I need to get some cornmeal to make cornbread this weekend to go with my baby-back ribs for my son's 21st birthday.

    I'm fortunate that I have 5 gas stations around me that sell non-ethanol and two that have 93 non ethanol.

    It’s a forced induction thing, not a turbo thing.

    E85 has octane of 108. And while you do burn 30% more of it due to its lower BTU output per same volume, the fact it’s so much cheaper.

    alcohols, which ethanol is part of, also has amazing evaporative cooling properties.

    my car is limited to about 700whp on 94 octane. On e85 I’ve made 800+ but I’m supercharger limited, other people have made 1200+ on e85.

    it’s poor mans race fuel!

    backcountryme Word to your mother.

    To answer the original question, I highly doubt it. The corn contamination in fuel is all to "Clean the air". But the truth is that you use more fuel to do the same work. But the EPA and the greenies will not let the "clean air" mandate go. You will still see alcohol in your fuel for many years to come.

    It is pretty easy to make an argument for E85. E10 and E15 on the other hand have no redeeming qualities at all. Fuel economy is lower, it absorbs water and goes bad fast, gums up fuel systems and destroys seals while providing very little help under boost. Whoever thought that crap was a good idea needs a steel toe boot to the forehead.

    I mean by now if manufacturers haven't figured out how to make seals last with e10, then all the engineers need to be fired.
