According to my personal view E85 is reported to get less MPGs than gasoline.

It does get less gas mileage. As far as performance I have not heard too much. The only positive thing I heard was it has a high octane rating, but in order to use it you have to have large injectors. Hence poor gas mileage. The BTUs it produces is low compared to gasoline, which is why larger injectors are needed to put more fuel into the cylinders... that is the way I was explained.
