Chicago does have expensive gasoline :)

You have already run 100% E85 and had a little hesitation. According to the article, I don't think it will work well in our winter climate. The cylinders might cool off too much to burn E85.
Spending a few hundred $$ to convert the injectors and ECU for E85 is too much for me. I think I would rather just buy a Civic Hybrid for $22K and get 50mpg.
