This is very relevant now! Great video, I run e85 and as gas prices will not go down soon this is the best option out there.
I agree definitely it’s the way to go! Thanks for the compliment 🙌🏽
I can't tell for sure exactly, but in my 2013 I had a steady average with regular fuel ranging anywhere from 14 to 18, depending on temperature and hills. I just did a roughly 50/50 mix of 81 and E85 and it stayed steady at 19 MPG. The trip I took usually burns about a quarter tank total, going to and from. With the 50/50 mix, I passed where I filled up AND got home and was sitting just over 3/4 tank. It's possible that in my case, I'm actually seeing a increase in MPG, but it's too soon to say for sure.
E85 in California is a godsend. $3.75 for E85 vs $6.10 regular lmao 🤣 💀
Man, I've got a 2012 F150 with the flex fuel and have never used E85. And I've been modding out my truck lately, I put in a cold air intake and a throttle response booster, ect, and that led me to looking up info about using E85. I watched this video and several others and got way excited to try it out myself. And so I've been driving around a lot to burn out all the regular fuel in my tank...and yesterday it was low enough I started looking for gas stations that have it...after going 0 for 10 I finally had the idea to just Google it and see where I can get it....and apparently there's only 4 fucking stations in Utah that actually have it...but man, I thought I had seen it around before but never really paid attention to it. Apparently I thought wrong and now I'm refilling my tank for $4.30 a gallon and realizing I just waisted a lot of money 😂
GOD. DAMN. IT. It cost me $150 to fill my truck back up and only 3 days ago I had almost 3/4 of a tank...
Best way to tell is at a track using mph. Timers are pretty accurate now days with that said.
I just got a 2022 5.0 and it seems to love e85. I haven’t done a tank of pure e85, 10/26 gallons in the tank are e85 and it is running amazing. pulls like hell and I don’t see much of an mpg hit(haven’t done anything scientific). With the amount of e85 in there it should be 94+ octane, definitely some high test stuff. I wonder how much octane the current coyote motors can actually take advantage of stock, beyond that you wouldn’t gain anything from higher octane from the blend, only seeing worse mileage due to the less energy dense fuel. Or maybe it keeps retarding timing all the way until 110 octane or whatever e85 is, the
coyote motors do have high compression so maybe it can use all that octane rating.
You’ll have to keep me updated. I’ve never actually mixed the two. I’ve only ran the tank down to near empty and added a full tank of either one. Although the last 6 months have been strictly E85
I am looking to take delivery of my new 22 F150 in the next month with the 5.0l, I was curious on how the truck would react. Fuel mileage, feel, cost and whether it would be worth it.
@@MrCurt54661 hopefully I was able to touch all of those in this video. Congrats on the truck! 🙌🏽
Worth it? Depends on how cheap you can get e85, but it likely will be slightly cheaper or a wash. If it is more than 20% cheaper than regular gas, it’s definitely worth it. I like it because the truck runs amazing and e85 greatly reduces my carbon footprint (yes I’m the one guy with a v8 f150 that thinks like this). I often top off the tank with regular when it’s 2/3-3/4 full of e85 when I can’t access e85. I figure that is equivalent to 2 e85 fill ups at different stations with different ethanol concentrations, which happens anyways. Other than that though no complaints with e85. I get like 19 mpg highway cruising in the low 70’s, and 3 mpg when I floor it.
On the 11-14 5.0, running e85 alone would net you a 15 hp and 10lb of torque.
I run E85 in my Mercedes and it makes my engine run so smooth...feels like i just changed the motor mounts. Add the increase in power along with the smooth feel, its perfect i dont care about anything else.
@@AndrewNobleOfficialI’m enjoying the performance of my FFV with the E85(83% tested). At $1.979/gal I can’t complain since the Non-E was costing me $4.00 to $4.50/gal
Hey.. Andrew I hope you have a wonderful day... also it was a best. I wish I give you a 100+👍

You might be good doing this for your little girl of yours also I been looking out for your new vids I hope you are alright??
I have a 2015 5.0 supercab xlt 4x4 that I run e85 in quite often. I would say mileage with e85 is 12-15% less than e10 in my pickup. I dont see any difference in mileage between E10 and E zero 87 octane. E85 here (Iowa) was $2.899 when I filled last week. E10 87 octane was $4.199 so E85 is a no-brainer for me. I havent hit the second reset on my f150 for nearly 60,000 miles and it shows an average of 17.1 mpg for a mix of e10 and e85. My pickup has the 3.31 axle. The 2018+ F150s 5.0 with the dual injection and a higher compression can show bigger performance gains with E85.
NZ $850 per drum was yours out of a service gas ⛽ retailers?
If a flex fuel vehicle has a higher or lower price, that cost must be accounted for in comparisons of e85 vs unleaded gas
Heard issues occur when running E85 in the winter and 91 was the best fuel to use.
Winters are pretty mild here in California. I haven’t had any issues although also haven’t seen it below 50 degrees
Only issue I've ever had was waking my neighbors from the massive pop when my truck runs over on e85
$2.89 here for E85 versus $5.50 for fuel here so I save 40 dollars for a full up
You get about 20% worse MPG, so if the cost is more than 20% then its worth it. But the performance makes it all worth it regardless
There’s an easy calculation and way to look at it! Great thoughts. I actually have a follow up video with a real world test over 6 months and how much money I saved. Check it out if you have time 👍🏽
My gas tank is yellow n says E85 but don’t see no flex fuel badge unless previous owner removed it or im tripping
What do you average MPG? I live in Torrance and commute 10 mins to my job in Long Beach and I get about 13.2 MPG. I see you punch it in your videos and your Distance to Empty is 394 when I fill up is like 330 lol how the how do you do it 😂
Is there 2 different sizes of fuel tanks? Idk man cuz I get on it all the time 🤣 I average like 12mpg
There's an E85 station en route to my workplace so I think from here on out, at least for daily commutes, I'll stick to E85.
I'm thinking there no different in price ethanol burns fast and cleaner so the little that one spends and the lose of milage and if one is pounding on it it will only be using more gas/Ethanol
Anything over a dollar cost difference will save a little. And the less you pound on it definitely lol
Did you tune it for E85? You would see the full effects with a good tune.
I have to admit surprised me on better performance, but less fuel milage. I only know of one station with e85 and it is two hours away. I personally will not run anything else but premium gas in my 19 F150, I do not like what I have read about ethanol.( but that is my opinion). I would be curious to anyone running a non modified F150 5.0 and there milage as well. Oh and you think you prices are high in Eastern Canada roughly 6.58 for regular and 6.67 a gallon. Very interesting video once again, as always go F150🤣🤣
Good info Anarchy. I did some reading as well about it and there is some pros and cons. I learned that 60% of corn production from our farming states goes to ethanol production as well which is mind blowing. Also I’d say prices are pretty similar with the Canadian dollar being roughly equaling .80 of an American dollar and this being filmed over the course of 2.5 weeks our prices are up again. You might still be slightly higher though. Thanks for watching as always! 🙏🏽
i got a stock 15 f-150 i got about 14.5 mpg before i put 33’s on it now i get like 13.9 but i’m not for sure because i pull a trailer pretty much every time i turn the truck on so now i get like 12 mpg
@garrisoncook6096 that is pretty good considering size of tires and towing on consistent basis.
I have a 22 f-150 5.0 was wondering do you need to tune it before putting in E85?
As long as you have a yellow sticker in the fuel door, you are good 👍🏽
Can you mix e85 and 87 together lol because I have half a tank of 87 but want to go fill the rest up with 85
You can. The computer will know it’s a mixed tank however I never do. I’ve always gone to empty when I switch back and fourth. Every 5 or 6th tank I’ll run regular fuel.
I flip flop between regular and E85 in my 2018 F150 5.0L
@@AndrewNobleOfficial no issues for my truck, it’s made for it though. The 2018 an up 5.0L also has 16 injectors so that may help.
@@sixwheelcarlisle8491 good info. I was always worried about that. So when I switched up I made sure I burned down to 0 fuel.
@@AndrewNobleOfficial I always mix regular and E85. It’s hard on your fuel pump if you run to low.
@@sixwheelcarlisle8491 yea agreed. Luckily I gave a station close and don’t have to drive too far everyday
That's a very good economic result $4 per litre 💰
Agreed! I just added a 6 month result video calculating money actual money saved 👍🏽
What's your opinion on e85 fuel now bro? Still recommend it? I live in Los Angeles and there's a difference of $1.80 per gallon
Yea man I’ve been running it the last 4 months or so. Cost savings starts when there’s a dollar or more difference in price from regular gasoline. Every trip I make to the pump it seems I chat with someone who has made the change to E85.
@@AndrewNobleOfficial cool bro, just bought a 2022 f150 5.0 and I'm about to fill up my first tank of gas after the dealer filled it up with 91 octane. Gna go with the e85 👍
Thank you for the fast reply brother!
@@AndrewNobleOfficial Cost savings start at $1 per gallon on paper. But consider going through a tank more quickly over and over means more time spent standing at a gas pump. Now you have to place a value on your time as well.
@@househunt5175 peep the video I posted yesterday. Actual savings after 6 months was in the thousands. 👍🏽
When you launch in 4wd do you leave it or swap it back to 2wd while moving please explain
I’ll usually switch it back to 2wd for regular driving. I will run 4H when it’s raining though all the time. You can switch between 4H and 2WD while moving up to 60 mph
Where can I find E 85 ? Just went to three gas stations here in Ohio lol
It says Kroger stations should have it. There’s actually an e85 phone app that will tell you which stations have it.
Hey I have a 2020 F150 2.7 can I run E85 on it , or you don’t recommend it
Your fuel door will tell you if it is flex fuel or not. I believe some engine types are regular gas only.
It'd too bad they didn't make the ecoboosts e85 compatible. It would really make a difference in forced induction, cleaner burning and cooling properties
Is your truck tuned? Oz Omega if not
@@AndrewNobleOfficial very bad experience with 5 star tuning, but the guy who wrote my tune was fired. Had to have my transmission rebuilt once and serviced another.
Omega will adapt to whatever fuel (including e85), removes start/stop and skipping gears, engine brakes slightly (which sounds great with a loud, aftermarket exhaust), and the shifting is smooth under light and heavy gas.
I have a v8 4x4 screw with several hundred pounds of added weight (bumpers, 35x12.5s, etc.), and it was down to 5.5 seconds 0-60 on e85 using the 4wd because I couldn't regulate breaking traction in 2wd when it shifted into 2nd and even 3rd gear.
I have a truck 2010 F150 5.4 XLT in the Gas Yellow Cap Says E85, so I can use that gas?
@@AndrewNobleOfficial so I can fill E85 gas? Or I need mixed with regular gas? What's the best recommendation?
@@DiegoAMena you can do either one. I run 50/50 mix when I’m driving long distances like 300 miles or more. And usually just fill up with regular while I’m traveling. While I’m doing regular driving it’s straight e85 only
Puro maize 🌽 🙂 especially in california where regular gas ⛽️ is like almost 5 dollars, just look for a local propel gas station and it's like 3.39 rn 👍
F150 ecoboost is crazy fast
The carseat not in the middle makes me nervous
It’s not suppose to be in the middle in a truck with a high center of gravity considering a rollover is most common even in a side impact. You have more structural integrity on the pillars. A car is a different story.
First responders refer to that as the suicide seat for a reason in the middle with nothing to stop you.
With regular gas i get about 710 or sometimes bit more ima try E85 once i get a chance to try it n find a gas station that has it
Oh n for those wondering how tf i get 710 mile range my tank is a 30 gallon tank so yeah lol expensive af to fill
My tank is the 32 gallon as well. Still crazy mileage out of that
@@AndrewNobleOfficial no hard to find a gas station that has it that is not out of my way
6.2 for a 0-60 is terrible on e85. Get a tune from mpt performance! My crew cab with a couple bolt ons and tune from them is 5 seconds flat !
Must not have power windows litter bug.
@2:03 he is pointing at Flex Fuel NOT E-85. Flex has ethanol up to 81%, E-85 is 15% ethanol and 85% Gasoline. Don't think they will behave the same as the octane rating differs just like the prices.
Pay attention to which nozzle you grab. Not all F-150's are flex fuel ready, my '18 says E-85 in the fuel door like his (again NOT flex fuel)!
Use caution or pay the penalty!!!!!!!
E85 is 85% ethanol-(up to) blends can vary. Flex fuel and E-85 are synonymous, but blend rates are variable and they give a lot of cushion on percentages. You will begin to see more E-15 pumps available if law changes are made permanent. I fill at the station we buy our farm fuel and pay $1.99 gal for e-85 in South Dakota. We grow corn for feed, milk cows, feed cattle so we use the distillers grains in our rations. In the US about 5.275 B. bushels of corn are used in creating ethanol(40% of typical US corn crop). Each bushel of corn creates 16lbs of distillers grains which are used as feed. Wanted to give a different perspective to the ethanol side.
Almost a whole half second quicker...well .3 seconds. So 60% of a whole half second quicker.
Littering go back and pick that napkin up sir….that does more for the planet than putting e85 in a v8
No disrespect
E85 is **** unless you want to go faster. Less efficient, makes food prices go up, costs more when decreased economy is taken into account.
There will never be an electric vehicle era as mentioned in the video. Unless you have an answer as to how our enemies the world over will be subdued from taking that out. As it is electric vehicles are powered by fossil fuels currently.
Your editing is annoying.
thats crazy, in southern CA Premium is over 5$/ gal but e85 from chevron is about 2.25$
E85 Jumped to $3.39 now my boy this inflation & prices is beyond ridiculous in Southern California
E85 barely 2.00 in Florida.
