Since the rebuild I'm about 150-160. But that was always getting on it. I'm taking it easy now so we'll see.

I have a E85 gas station 5-10 minutes away from work and about 10-15 minutes away from home. Not as close as when I lived in GA but its still worth it.

I get 200-275 on e85 depends on how many wot I do. But on 93 I get 325-375 on the tank once again, that depends on how much fun we have in a day. Since we all own Evo I didn't think we bought the car to save gas. Its more for enjoyment. Don't you think if I'm trying to save money I just go old school and take out the 10 speed.

For people that say E85 isnt worth it, I made roughly 45more hp at the exact same boost pressure on a stock turbo. I am roughly at 400/400 and it is noticeably quciker and more fun than when it was on pump at 360/350. I also have plenty of gas stations with ethanol around me. I get roughly 180 miles per tank, but who cares its faster and smells cool lol. It's not a prius, I didn't buy it for mileage.
