I have 100% and E10 easily available in my area.
I've ran mpg numbers on both in the wifes '16 1500 5.3 gas version (non E85) chevy.
I ran 100 percent for 5 tanks to get 100 percent gas through the system. Gain was less than one mpg and wasn't worth the cost for my use.
As others I use 100 percent in my lawnmowers/chainsaws/gas trimmers/generator/etc..... but E10 in the car and her truck. The Impala with 105k miles has had nothing but E10 since new.
WE put a lot of miles on our vehicles living out here so our vehicles don't sit very long till the tank is refilled to the max.
JMO but vehicles that sit outside....and the vehicle operates on the bottom half of a tank especially in the winter with large temp swings (nite time/day time) are more suspect to issues with E10-E85.
