My boss has a Chevy Flexefuel car and he said the gas mileage is bad in his car when he tried it out.

What about using one of those Octaine boosters like at autozone. If you use the E85 to fill up the tank and have one of those octaine boosters would that help increase the MPG ???
I think you mightve just skimmed over what he posted, at best

From what I've read, E85 is a completely different animal to tune for. Yeah its a higher octane (100+), but you also need to run it much richer, have HUGE injectors, and have a completely stainless fuel system. Its still worth it, but unless your car is built for it, dont just try it out randomly
