I got a new truck last week and it can use this stuff... no stations in Lubbock yet but I see several in Texas. Has anyone used it yet?

newer models are built with E85 in mind and should get rougly the same gas mileage as normal gas

nope

here's the fuel economy guide released by the EPA for 2006, if you scroll down to Flexible-Fuel vehicles, I think they all get worse gas mileage (some more than others)
