The performance and mileage costs are nearly undisputed. There is also the cost to upgrade fuel system components to keep the alcohol from eating that. As per the cost per gallon being less, check the tax breaks on E85 distributors. I suspect you'll find that government subsidies for E85 is approximately the same as the cost difference per gallon.
