I am sorry but 14 MPG on E85 is a Gift! Take it and enjoy it. My mom got 11 MPG on her Taurus with E85. She sold that and bought her focus that gets 35 MPG on regular gas and is a lot more fun to drive. I bet you'd get 17-18 on regular gas. I guarantee a Nissan Titan on E85 won't get 10 MPG. Trust me Buy regular gas, the Price savings isn't enough to cover the difference in mileage.

E85 and cold weather do not go well together since E85 has lower BTU than regular gas and also cold E85 doesn't like to fire up, in south american countries that use nothing but E90 have a small tank under the hood for regular gas so when the engine temp is under 60 degrees so imagine your truck at sub-zero, you also have a 10% ethenol mix in your gas during winter months so the half tank of regular so just run with straight gas and see if that helps
