Evo 8 gas mileage on E85

So what gas mileage are you guys getting on E85? At best I am getting 200 miles per tank refilling about 10 gallons,

I get 12 to 14 mpg, not a dd either. I would say that's great for how hard I drive and only pay 2.65 a gallon

Not necessarily, although by using e85 it consumes about 10 percent more, by using E85 over premium you still get more bang for your buck. At least where I live E85 is about $1.50 a gallon cheaper then Premium.

lucky. where i am e85 is usually, at best, 16% cheaper than 91oct. however, last i checked it was around $3.29 for 85 and about $4.05 for 91. still not worth it for us.

I get an extra 50-100hp depending on my tune

I dont care about gas mileage I can afford it, all I care about is the power

if you want mpg either stick with pump or buy a civic.

edit*** feel like I was being a dick - 150 mpg not dialed in yet for cruise or idle
