city driving 9.5 mpg
Highway 150 miles trip , 80 mph ..15mpg
E85 is not friendly to cylinder deactivation, pick up some vibrations at 70 -80 mph
With 50% 93 octane , was fine
So.... no more e85 for me .

If you looking for power E85 will help out. Along with engine mods of course. It will net you some HP on the dyno. Provided you care about that. Food for thought.

That's pretty good mileage at 80 mph! I get 12 mpg at 80 on E85. I also get better mileage around town if I don't idle so much, if I do, I get like yours, below 10. Mine is rated for 10 city anyway.

Prices are pretty low right now, good time to run it for local driving. Not common enough to run it on long trips.
