What kind of gas mileage are getting on E-85?
Well I just filled up tonight and got my best tank in the 3,000 miles I've been on e-85. I hit 190 miles when my gas light went on, ~15.8 mpg. Considering my local station is charging $2.49 a gallon I feel like I could almost be saving money over premium. This is with redline pulls every time I turn the key.
Anyone else have similar numbers?

I recently switched to E85 and I am getting 10 mpg in heavy los angeles traffic.
well, my 91 gas weren't much better -- 14 mpg.
However, My car is pretty good on high way. I did 28 mpg with 91 gas when I had a long trip to san diego. I might not be able to do high way test since there is only 1 E85 gas station in entire LA. I can't have any long trip with E85 at all.
