It's interesting to note how much lower milage is when using E-85, though.

I ditched my 12 MPG F-150 a couple of years ago for the 30 MPG Jetta. I actually started looking into a hybrid escape, thinking I could get 4WD and good fuel for 128. I love my Jetta, but I have flipped the payments and always like saving. Here's the kicker though, the exact same vehicle with the hybrid engine cost $8,000 more. I'm not going to pay more money to the automaker instead of less money to the evil oil company. I'll go alternative source, but it has to be reasonable, say within 10% the base of the non hybrid.
