E85 is about 20 cents cheaper per gallons for me than using 93 even when accounting for the difference in gas mileage

No issue finding fuel since I have canbus flex, and $700 for a tune on a $40k car is irrelevant to me
20c/gallon is 2 bucks per fill for a 40k car.thats why j stick with 93

150 ish. I got 50 miles to empty when the gauge was at almost half tank. I may go to my 93 tune because the E mileage is so bad.
I'm at 12.7 mpg N/A. I just put the 93 tune back on mine an hour ago. I'm doing it for comparison money wise. I daily mine and we're at $3.09 for E85 and $4.39 for 93. So I'm at about $20 a day on E, now I'm about to see what 93 gives!

Only 1 station I know of in OKC has 93, everyone else maxes out with 91. That’s why I use my E85 tune. I’m torn between which tune to run. I love the power of the E but the mileage blows. However the unavailability of local 93 is possibly worse. One place righ up the street from me has 100 octane racing fuel but it’s insanely expensive. I wonder if I could run an octane boost additive and get regular 91 up to 93. That might be the best solution. That way if I’m on a short road trip I could fill with 93 if I actually found some or just go with 91 plus a bottle of boost. The lack of good e85 outside of the metro area has me scared to take my car any real distance from home.

That's a stupid reason tbh, ethanol is better in every way except fuel mileage and is cheaper to run

I have 93 everywhere near me and I still use this stuff on the weekends when I'm not on E85.

120 to the tank on race fuel - lasts about 100 miles'ish or so. When the needle hits the half tank mark with 50 miles left, the gas symbol appears on the dash. I try to not let it go much further down than half a tank

Filled up this morning and car reported 212 miles to Empty. Paid 2.71 for E85 this morning. Premium is at 3.85. I have never purchased any vehicle for MPG's. If I did, my wife would've looked like a beat up prius, instead of a Pagani. I crack myself up.

I am supercharged on 93 octane and mine shows 198 to E. This is when I only drive it around town. On trips, it does pretty well and will show 230 to E.
