What's Your MPG On Full E85?

Hello, I'm just curios on what MPG you guys are getting on full E85? And what tune are you on and whp? Im planning on going Jordan 2H.

What's your MPG and how many miles you get on a full tank on aggressive driving?

What's your MPG and how many miles you get on a full tank on moderate driving?

Thanks!

I'm on E40 tune and getting about 16MPG 60/40 city driving, moderate driving. I would expect full e85 you'll be seeing under 15MPG.

How come you decided on S2H vs S2+?

15MPG on E85 daily driving, but only costs me $2.55 a gallon.

Doing completely city driving the gas light comes on for me at around 170 miles. And that's with me enjoying the car and doing tons of pulls. So probably like 12 ish mpg. On 91 the gas light comes on for me at around 200 miles and I don't drive nearly as aggressive on pump gas so honestly not that big of a difference

My 15MPG for E85 also figures in a set of hard pulls every other day, as I'm in the middle of tuning-logging-tuning with F80Paul. Stock turbos and fueling.

My 93 octane maps get me about 20MPG.

Do big turbos with PI and you'll be drinking fuel faster. But the fun factor is soooo worth it.

I don't want to push the turbos too much.

Is that all city driving for 91?

I typically get 250 miles before the gas light turns on with 91 with mixed driving.

That's crazy I've never got anywhere near that haha. And yeah that's all city driving. 99% of my driving I'm in sport + and S2 stretching the cars legs and having a good time since I only drive it a couple days a week nowadays. Funny enough though ever since going E85 the few tanks of 91 I've ran the light actually came on at around 220 miles. It's almost as if the ethanol cleaned out the fuel system a little bit

Full E85
12-15 MPG
Gas mileage is the least of my concern.

I as well only use my car on the weekend. And I wouldn't say I drive it THAT moderately. I guess I asked for long trips. Great thing about BM3 is we can switch maps just in case I find myself in a situation with no ethanol nearby. I live in Los Angeles so not too terrible for me. Just concerned about it to get to Las Vegas or San Diego. I'm almost sure ill switch to pump gas before a big trip.

Hmm I get horrible gas mileage, but I drive my car pretty hard. I get anywhere from 215-230 per tank with my BM3 CS tune on acn91 with 2 gallons of e85

I’ve managed to get 30 mpg on freeway driving. Typically get 160 to 180 miles from a full tank with a combination of city, freeway, and WOT driving

Yup. If anyone is familiar with the Houston area, I completed a loop around beltway 8 at a very respectable speed during a moment of Covid boredom.

My driving is almost all freeway, I get 23. This includes freeway pulls getting on and exiting.... Nothing crazy.

Street driving my guess would bring it down closer to 17
