Is it worth doing that without having a turbo/supercharger?

For a DD, no unless you want power and don't give a shut about any type I'd efficient fuel driving. Lol

If your car sees fun day driving only, it's worth it.

So for a long trip, say 300 miles or so it would not be worth having the E85 tune?

I only drive about 5 miles a day....at most. So the longest drives I take are my "fun" drives just to have some fun. I am sure the fact that I drive so little is part of the reason my gas mileage is absolute ass...

If you can afford/handle getting maybe 20-21 AVG MPG, maybe 23 max on the highway, depending on mods, then I say go for it. You can always purchase a fuel drain kit and swap back to 93 for long trips, which may be what I do when I switch to corn
