So... even with ****ty E85 mileage, I am still saving money.

So we all win, YAY!

I'm using the Innovate LC-1. I think it does have the Lambda option, but I'm using the gas AFR.

I do, because I'm a tuner and I can't leave well enough alone.

I'm the same way. What's the best mpg you've seen on E85?

If you are driving a lot of hills or a lot of stop and go freeway traffic you will get your MPG down into the 11-13 range. Being on the freeway doesn't matter if you are going 5 mph and idling there.
