Default Re: Steamed up my afternoon

I drive a Ford Escort ZX2 with 140,000 miles on it, but it has some mechanical issues. Just the same, the last tank averaged about 32 MPG, which isn't bad at all.

One alternative is E85, which around here runs in the mid-$3.00 range (gasoline is over 4 bucks). Problem with alcohol is, you get lower mileage because there's less chemical energy in it than gasoline. So, my question is, does anyone here drive a flex fuel vehicle, and if so, how's the mileage? I'm going to be looking for a new ride soon, so that's a major factor. Thanks!
