Welp the verdict is in: 19.7mpg on e85 mostly city, with a healthy dose of ALLOFIT at least once a day, and mostly short trips with lots of cold start and warmup fuel spent.
I think it can do 22 if I really tried. I think it can probably do 25 on a trip or something.
But who cares, I'm not about to find out. Boost is dericious

So you're looking at a 22% price deficit. I know you also use up to 30% extra fuel with E85 in comparison to pump gas due to its lower energy density. So my question is whether or not, on your respective tunes, you maintain an mpg level high enough on E85 to keep total fuel costs about even between both gasoline and E85. I know you probably don't give a **** either way and I wouldn't either but I am just curious.
Also, **** CA gas prices. I paid $2.85 for 93oct this morning.

haha, oh trust me I've weighed it out many times, and yes even ignoring the performance aspect of the stuff, it is still so much better to run than our crappy 91.
You can run the stuff leaner, I can sit at 16.5afr on the hwy and car won't even flinch. For the past couple years I've compared tanks and the difference is like $3-$4 between them at most, so basically same amount of money.
Our 91 is worse than most too, I believe AZ, CA, and NV have 91 that sucks so bad it's a tier lower than other 91's. So running the octane equiv of 95-105 for basically the same money, is fine by me
Oh and lastly, it smells cool
catless downpipe on 91 makes me want to puke. catless downpipe with e85 and the car smells pleasant

Yeah, I'm rather worried about the 91 we have out this way. My plan is to tune on it, pull some timing and boost off the top and top off with overpriced 95/100/110 for trackdays. I have the fear.
I was actually really worried about the turbo/ms guys who came down for Miatas@MRLS this last year. I know mentioned the 91 thing to more than a couple people.
