3-5% depending on efficiency of your current gas.

I dont think its gonna make 3-5% over 114 octane fuel. But it might turn out to be cheaper. And might make close to the same power.

Whoa- didnt catch that part about the 114. Sorry about that, i've only compared 93 vs. e85. Soon i'll be testing 110 vs e85

It would definetly be cheaper even though you have to run more of it.
