Those are some good numbers espically with all the talk that E85 gas mileage sucks. I am still on 93 and never really ran a full tank to see mileage but if I had to guess maybe MPG 18/21
Go to gas station. Fill car till pump "clicks". Reset trip meter. Drive ~200 miles. Pull into gas station. Fill car till pump "clicks". Do math of miles on trip divided by gallons showing on pump. That's your MPG. Zero need for guess work.
People should be doing that anyways as a sudden spike in your MPG could mean something wrong with your car.

I get around 202...
Seems 200-220 is pretty common
How are twin screw guys getting 200+ on E85 and I am only getting 115-130 with a ported Eaton? I guess either my Amazon tune sucks ass or those cams are really sucking gas.
That's way to low man .... I will check into that tune ASAP or something ! But I will tell you this though , the 202 miles i got was under a well behave foot .. no WoT at all during those miles ....
Geez man, that is really low. Im at 100 miles now on the corn and have not got to the half tank line yet, and this has been all city driving, no hwy.

I have a ported Eaton with 60lbs, BAP and a Amazon tune and I get 250-280 a tank :dancenana: I've been strongly considering the corn.
Im running the same on E85 with 80 lbs injectors, SCT 2600 MAF, 2.9 whipple setup... Im running around 200-205 on E85. I too have not filled up on 93 since converting back in March.. Love the corn!! And so does my car!! LOL!!
Have you found any places in Arlington/NoVA area with E85 at the pump??
Your setup is very similar to mine, minus the sct 3000 maf and return fuel system. What are you making on how many lbs.?
Subbing for future for my cobra
But what is wrong with my wife's cars?
99V6 mustang vert auto. Never gets 200 miles in city traffic on 87 pump gas?
Is she just driving fast maybe?

There's one off Navy Anex by the Pentagon but rumor is the station won't be there much longer that's why I've been holding back. And there's one on RT17 in Fredericksburg which is 20 mins from my work. And I believe a couple others but these two would be the most convenient for me.
if I baby it, I can get about 180 miles out of it...
got 160 miles from LA to Sacramento doing 75-80 the whole way...
typically with some heavy foot stuff and normal driving, I get 135-140 miles
my tank is sumped and all which makes it only accept around 12 gallons

how gallons of gas do you get in your tank?
I normally put 10 gallons (2, five gallon jugs) in it once it gets to the E. on my 215 miles I got, I filled it up from E till the hose clicked so it was more than 10 gallons, I cant remember what the gas pump said it was exactly.
so you're getting 21 mpg???...that sounds a little high but ok..good shit...lol
I don't do the math, I just reset trip when I put gas in. Its not my dd, so could care less about mpg, miles per tank is what I see when I reset trip. A good tune and tuner goes a long way, but thanks, I'm certainly enjoying it.
