E85 is not for someone that is worried about economy. The only reason I am not using it is because I have the stock fuel system. When I ran e85 I was getting like 13mpg in the city which is like 90% of my driving. I'm getting 14 or so now with the blower. I suck at Monitoring the right foot though.
The more I MOD, the better MPG's i get!

yea bout that..... we change filters quite a bit but yes sand its a HUGE killer and for the size of the filter for a tank its insane that it can actually run with such a small sized filter compared to the size of the engine.
All of you need to switch to e85. Im lucky to even get 18 on the highway.
my avg. with E85 is about 11.8 MPG.
I get consistent 400-420 miles per tank in my '12 GT

This is why I want to switch, but need to be able to swap fuels
. 3-4 days of 70 mile round trips would kill me! Specially since around here E85, unless it just dropped recently, has been not to far off 93. Then again, our 93 prices seem a lot lower than many mentioned in this thread

Donaldson filters was contacted during the first Desert Shield conflict in the middle east. The Abrams tank was having problems with air filters from the silt sand there. The current filters were clogging rapidly, other oiled filters were allowing too much bypass and damaging the engine.
The military needed a filter that was:
1. Cleanable in the field
2. No solution allowed (i.e. oil)
3. Had to support the turbine engine air requirements of the tank
Donaldson answered with nano-fiber. Yet another military request that not only changed the course of the war, but also trickled down to automotive technology. Cool isn't it!

When I do mainly in town driving thats what I get.
Doesn't the T700 series engine use an air particle seperator? I know the Apache does.
I am limited to the information above from Donaldson.
Expand...
Holy shit. Do you drive nothing but highway at 60-65 MPH the entire time?
expand what? i have the stock fuel system with fuel injectors only. not enough fuel for e85. maybe with a 21v bap its possible but i rather wait for a return fuel setup.
Hey im up over 600 hp getting 19 mpg around town, can't complain, talk about eco booost!
Only way I'd believe that is if you took a pic of your gas mileage.
I suppose if I cruised from a top off till empty, then on the highway never stopping, I could get 400, but never had that situation to test that.
You don't use the while 16 gallons.................
MAYBE 15 if you run it past 0 Miles to E
ya, most ive filled up was 15.2 gallons.. i coasted into the station on fumes.... regularly fill with 14.5 though... at or just below 0 miles to e
it is possible. i averaged 26mpg just the other day on 91.... doing 75 not 80.. saved just over a mpg.. lol

the most ive filled up is 14.5 gallons, so possible to get 400 on a tank of just highway.
