E85 is a clean burning fuel that is 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline. Ethanol is produced mainly from corn and I've only seen it sold in Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, and South Dakota. The state government also subsidizes E85 to keep the prices low to help farming which is a huge part of these states economies. I was in Mitchell SD, and 87 Octane was selling for $2.25/gal and E85 was $1.47/gal the week after Christmas.
If your vehicle is not a flex-fuel vehicle which no Dodges currently are, don't use it. That much ethanol will destroy rubber hoses and seals in your fuel system. Eventually it will clog your injectors or worse. Not to mention, you get horrible fuel mileage off any fuel that has even a little ethanol added into it.
