If you don't know your MPG with E85, here's a good source:

A handy calculator is found here to compare the cost of E85 vs. reg. unleaded:
http://e85prices.com/

My truck is a 2006 Ford F150 4WD 5.4L V8
I'm getting about 14 mpg driving around here in the city of Louisville.

Comparatively, I'll get about 11 mpg with E85.

Reg. 87 gas this morning was $3.75 by my house.
E-85 was $3.15 here by work.

Using the calculator, E85 would need to be at $2.94 to be comparable to Reg. 87 at $3.75
-OR-
If E85 holds at $3.15, then 87 would have to hit $4.00 to see any benefit.
EXACTLY.

My 2010 F150 4WD 5.4L V8 is a Flex Fuel vehicle and can take the E85...the problem is that E85 is a joke, and a lot of people don't understand what you posted above.
