United are in the process of rolling out their new E85 product. It is blended with 98 Octane Unleaded.

I blend the United down to 70% so that if I can only get eflex, than I can just put it in without having to reset adaptations etc. 70% also gives me a little more reasonable economy. 9.5l/100km on the highway. Although when I say highway driving, I tend to overtake and may go slightly faster than what most people consider highway driving.
I always thought the E85 was a mix with premium fuel, and the 100+ was a ULP type base?

Ahh that's something I had wondered re the fuel economy in cruising mode. An E70 mix with 9.5L/100km sounds great to me! Obviously on a mountain rd run it could potentially double up to 16-18L/ 100 kms right?
