The price in Minneapolis is $2.83 for regular. I've been filling up with E85 at $2.28. Live green, live happy.
What do you lose in fuel economy with e-85 while towing? I've read the average loss is about 15-20% making the break even point for $3.00 gas comparing to $2.40 e-85. I've ran it in my car and lost less then 15%, but I've never tried it while towing.
CT on our way to work this morning self serve regular without the free coffee or donut or anything else $2.93.
Boy do I miss those free donuts!

I've seen a spike in fuel prices just in the last few days.
Reg Unleaded was $1.46 4 days ago. Now $1.65
Diesel is now running @ $1.72
Could you share what the current price is in your area?
Thanks-John
Yips!!!!!
Came back down the 210 freeway here in SoCal and got off in Pasadena. As I stopped to make a left turn, I couldn't beleave my eyes. A Chevron had #2 Diesel at $4.10 per gallon !

I haven't used E85 while towing. In fact, the owners manual says not to use E85 for towing, althought the dealer I bought it ('03 Tahoe) from says it will run on used beer.
My last fill was $2.32 for E85. Regular gas was $3.05. I lose 2 to 2.5 mpg on E85. Its not a big saving.
Here in north Texas - DFW - regular unleaded is $2.85; diesel is $3.00. Only one station sells E-85 and it is too far away from our new home but my husband enjoyed it when it was on his way to/from work.

How much more did the vehicle cost if any?
