e85 is mostly ethanol and is not price regulated. a retailer can sell it for whatever price he wants. he can sell it for a loss. dealer on the mn85 website was selling e85 for $1/gal less than e10. few yrs back when e10 was below $2/gal i kept watching the stores price and was hoping e10 would hit $1/gal. than e85 would be free. but, of course gas prices rise/fall and e10 is $2.40 now. its a commodity. like grain. it goes up/down. they dont do the $1 deal anymore. the cheapest e85 in town is 1.59 today. about 31% less than e10. with mileage loss with e85, you need to be in the 35% price difference range to break even
