A few people thinks its a good idea to start a thread on this topic since it's been brought up more than one before and about performance VS cost.
I am a mechanic and performance enthusiast.
What I am lead to believe is even though E85 costs less per gallon the amount of energy per unit is less than lets say 91 premium gas. So even though you are filling up for less in your tank, it will take more "e85" to make the power.
However people have said interesting things regarding octane and tuning which i think all of us here would be interested in learning about. If anyone would like to add more about other alternatives feel free.
