E85 Anyone use it?

Just curious if anyone uses E85. I know you get less mileage but not sure how much. I know some of the Ford vans are flex fuel.
I see the price is sometimes up to a dollar less per gallon, right now it's only 30 cents difference.
I would think at a dollar less a gallon it would be worth using.
Anyone know what the mileage difference is?

We use it in our van almost all the time. We lose about 1.5 MPG with the E85. The savings isn't as much right now, there is a 35 cent difference between the E85 and regular gas. When gas was 3.90 a gallon, E85 was about 3.35 a gallon and the difference was worth the loss.

1.5 mpg isn't that much. Yeah, the price difference is not very consistant. I just inherited a 2002 Chevy S10 4 cyl that is flex fuel and was curious on if it was worth using:)
