Worse fuel mileage! Usually offsets the savings in the fuel itself.

The F150 6.2L is E10 or less only and the F250 6.2L has different cams I believe. Normally power goes up when you run E85.

Power will not go up in most stock vehicles... But it does allow you to increase timing and compression because of its higher octane levels, which is great for custom builds or cars designed for it. Although it has a higher octane rating, there's actually less "energy" in E85 when compared with an equal amount of gasoline, which is why stock vehicles burn more of it.

when you open the gas tank door look around the seal in my 2011 it tells me what not to put in there and what i can use

I thought what made it flex was the variable timing I still would like some one from ford to let me know If it voids warranty I should have the right to run it if It can be done. I like burning ethanol because it is cleaner (smells better coming out the tail pipe) and if it wasn't for ethanol I wouldn't be able to buy any vehicle I farm and a lot of farmers buy pickups when they have the money. the raptor fit my needs better than a 250 I will mainly be checking crops and taking the kids to school in it I wanted a smoother ride.

I just want the right to burn what ever fuel I choose as long as it don't heart the engine and I run e-30 in every thing and have for over 10 years and have not had a problem running e-30 in any of my other engine's nonflexs torus 2002 19-26mpg f150 1979 10-17mpg f150 2004 15-19mpg impala 2006 25-32mpg chrysler town&country 2008 17-26mpg old farm trucks 60's 80's every thing has over 100,000 miles except the 2008 town&country Oh and the can-am 800 outlander xtp 2500 miles running e-30 17mpg
I don't believe in mandates but I believe in the right to choose what I want to do for my country I love the USA I live hear and burn e-30 and know what it is but don't understand the difference between nonflex and flex I would never run any thing higher than 50-50 blend in a nonflex vehicle for me e-30 works...
