When I first went on E85, my DTE, was in the upper 200’s, but over time it started showing less miles DTE just like you guys. I don’t know what installing the new pump may have had to do with that, but now it’s been restored to upper 200’s. If memory serves me correctly, on the last fill up, I saw 296 DTE.

Find a safe place and get it on video for us like this guy did.

max I've been on the highways in mexico are 130, allegedly :surprised:. And I have to wait ages till I have an open runway. I'll have a friend record the max I can hit on dominion raceway's straightaway on 9/2.

E85 makes less power than gas part for part, you dont use it for mpg, it's for an octane boost and helps with combustion chamber cooling. I ran E85 in my coyote f150, had it tuned for 93 and E85, the E85 made great power but at a cost fuel economy. Doing the math it cost about 15% more to run than gas.

Oh, I completely agree and run it for the same reasons that you said. I was just pointing out that my DTE has been wonky. I couldn’t care less about the mileage, as I don’t daily my car. I especially prefer to run it with nitrous over 93.

It is a definite "smiles per gallon" situation. You have to pay to play. If you want a mileage car, get an ecoboost.
