•Unless you live in the Midwest, you probably can't find a station that sells E85. There are more than 168,000 gas stations in the United States, but only 720 sell Ethanol. In California, for example, there's just one E85 station.•It's not as efficient as gasoline. A gallon of E85 contains 20 percent to 30 percent less energy than a gallon of regular gasoline. That means a flex-fuel vehicle will get about 25 percent fewer miles to the gallon.•Even with a 50-cents-per-gallon federal tax subsidy, a gallon of E85 costs about as much as a gallon of regular gasoline and can sometimes cost more, depending on your location. advertisementreplacecontent-tcm:8-21982
