Deffering the mechanics to those who know better...
E-85 has 95,000 BTU / Gallon. Standard gasoline has 125,000 BTU / Gallon.
So you need 31% more E85 to perform the same amount of work as Gasoline.
Turning the numbers around, E85 needs to sell for 76% of the price of a gallon of gasoline to break even. A $0.40 saving would break even at $1.66 gasoline.
