So 250 miles for a full tank of gas. And our car's fuel tank size is 19 gallons. That comes out to ~13.15 mpg which isn't that great for a v6... maybe because of the e85? i get around ~20.5mpg

They aren't much bigger cams than stock it will run fine. Whereas the LS3 etc performance cams makes them sound like a tractor and they run rough without a tune. So dont expect huge gains.
