My tractor runs on good ol E85. To do so, the choke must be pulled out a tiny bit. It smells great and does not run rich. I have not noticed a consumption difference, as I don't really keep track.
I have to change to E10 in the winter.
I also run E85 all the time in my Chevy Silverado. Gets 14 mpg on E85, or 17mpg on E10. Similar results with my Chrysler Minivan. Dad runs his Cuda on E85, as well as his 2001 Ram.
A lot of what you hear about ethanol isn't true. It doesn't rot out rubber parts. Most of the time, those parts were old to begin with.
It isn't perfect, but it sure works good.
