OMG MPG
There was some talk on a thread a while back regarding MPGs and there were numbers flying around everywhere. So, I thought it would be great to start a thread proving our stats.
Calculating mine was easy because it rolled over to 30k miles at the gas pump. So, I filled her up.

After two weeks of driving and 98 miles later, I was back at the same pump, filling her up again.

And here are the results. Now, I'm no math whiz, but I'd say those MPGs are not great, but in line with my horsepower. Don't believe I will be daily driving her anytime soon. LOL!

Wow! Going off your signature I'm guessing that's e85? It's great stuff, but I've always heard to take your mileage on pump gas and half it for e85. Probably a combination of being less power dense, but the extra power goading you into using it more

I get around 21hwy E85 and 26hwy 93. My 5th gen would get 19hwy/24 93

Yep, e85. I picked up about 75hp with the conversion.

You're NA, so I can see how the numbers could be closer together. At just under 7 mpg, not sure even 15 is possible for mine on the highway. Maybe 10.

I can't / won't prove it, since there is nothing to brag about....
I get about three if I'm lucky on the street, and about 5 gallons to the mile (GttM) on the track...... C16....

My DIC said right at 10 the other day. That was all around town/driving the hell out of it though. I think I'd still get 20+ just cruising down the highway. Just hard to keep my foot off the floor

I get about 7-8 in town and 20 if I'm lucky on the freeway. Usually around 18.
