I'd be thrilled to get that kind of mileage. What kind of numbers are you putting down?

24.5 on gasoline, 19 on E85 on the highway. Combined is more like 19 on gas and 15 on E85. I have spent a bunch of time trying to get the highway mileage as good as I can since I commute twice a week.

Aaron, I take it AFRs on the highway are around 15.8:1 and timing is between 35-39?

I get 16 city/highway running in closed loop off the front O2, at around 34* at cruise

I used to get 180-210 a tank. Now I'm about 150-190 max.

I ran stock block and Evo 9 turbo on E85 for a month and a half, got about 18 on the hwy and 12 in city. Acceleration was worth it though!

16.5 and 44*-45*. The large motor and big (read slower than stock appearing) turbo helps. I have also played with the MIVEC a bunch to get the best blend of all motor power and all motor economy.
