Just wondering how most of you are putting 14 gallons in you car,lol

Reset your trip odo on fill up. Drive almost till you are empty, fill up you car and what ever the pump tells you what you put in divide that into the mileage.

I get about 210-230 for a tank of gas using 93. Thats filling up 12-13gal. This is driving mostly city driving. That is anywhere between 16-19mpg. When I switch to E85 Im guessing im only going to get 10-15mpg

I was getting by on 1 tank of gas per week on 93.

On the E85, I now have to fill up twice a week.

But on the E85 feels so good,

Idk about mpg but I get 300miles right before the gas light comes on. My trims are scaled almost perfect from my tuner and run 14.7-15.2 a/f cruising

Strange. I can drive about 250 miles before I have to refuel but that's not pushing it. In the city I get more like 12mpg

Take whatever mileage you are getting on gasoline and multiply by 0.75

I get 15-20 with E85 on average driving. It's well into the single digits during a HPDE.. like 5-7.

My 03 was getting 220miles to the tank with stock turbo and 1000cc injectors, now I'm getting about 150 per tank with an FP Black and 1680cc injectors. I do 100% city driving.
