A couple of years ago I drove through Missoula, Montana and topped up  
for the long drive to Pocatello. I did not make it. My fuel  
consumption had dropped dramatically with the ethanol mixture I had  
topped up with. It was a rather panicky time in the middle of winter  
with most gas stations closed for the season. After twenty minutes of  
driving with the reserve light I found an open station. I can't  
imagine the reduction of range you would get with the 85% mixture.
