E85, anyone?

I've built several holley style carbs to accept e85, and what an amazing idea and perfect fuel for harleys, With that said, the major hang up to using a stock carbon is the internal fuel and air circuits aren't big enough to support the additional fuel/air its gonna need. So you really need someone to build a e85 specific carb,

Running e85 is kind of a wash if your looking to save money. While cheaper than regular gas, its btu is less per gal (as i understand it, but Im no chemical engineer) so while the fill-up is cheaper, you burn more than an equiv gal of regular. E85 is a boondoggle foisted upon the taxpayer's by big ag, to sell more corn products and push up the price of same, while collecting subsidies from the fed. Eliminate farm subsidies and e85 will dissappear. Its also an energy and water hog to refine, vs reg petrol.

The only way you could save by running it is buying by the drum rather than at the pump where stations are gouging the price.
I'm looking at the benefits, added power, no carbon buildup in the chambers, cooler running engine, etc
I think the benefits possible would outweigh the added $2-$3 cost per fill up
