E85 does cost more so for DD stick with 93. I still guess 10-15hp though.

The "cost" factor is a tough one to say based on location.
It is all based on MPG loss and the cost difference between 91/93 & e85. If you have relatively cheap e85 and high cost for 93 then it could be cheaper & better performance to jump to e85 (especially with boost).

Also, you might want to talk to phunk about e85 & trust, running over 600whp with e85 for almost 50k (or more) miles with no issues.
