I have used the 10% ethanol for more than 30 years in eveything I own without any problems. It appears there are no economical reasons to use E85. Although the cost per gallon is less, the cost per mile in highway vehicles is greater due to the 20-25% loss in MPG. I would assume a similar or greater loss of fuel efficiency in older tractors. I have also seen reports stating that there is a 10% loss in MPG when using the 10% ethanol. If that is true, then adding 10% in volume and reducing MPG by 10% results is no reduction in the consumption of gasoline. In dollar savings, you are further ahead to drink the alcohol and get too drunk to drive and leave your car in the garage. It's just a no win situation for the consumer.
