Let's not hide the fact that the car does drink way more of the corn splash than the dino juice, though.

True, but usually the cost works out to the benefit of running E85. That said, gas prices are so unstable that one day it could be cheaper, then next, not so much.

I’ve done the math on this a lot of times. 93 Octane is $4.39. E85 is $2.69. That’s 39% more for premium. Fuel economy is typically 15-20% lower for E85. That’s a win all day.

Not so much for 87 Octane. $3.09 vs $2.69. Only a 13% difference but a 15 - 20% difference in fuel economy so that’s break-even at best, probably a loss.

One additional benefit… I NEVER have to clean my exhaust tips.

I don't have to hide it, the exhaust makes no attempt to hide it at all.

Over 70k on my '22 ZLE I bought new in '22. I love daily driving it. Living in California I've got pretty good weather all year long. It's a tough choice between the motorcycle or the car.

My motorcycle is at 35k miles, and I got it new end of '18. I find myself in the Camaro more than the car most days lol. But either one is fun and not stock lol.
