Economy is not a term reserved for "money".
There is no reason why not to base fuel economy in fuel used per mile. after all, every car manufacturer and their ads use it  |
Well based upon these numbers if we are talking costs...I think being able to run E85 even at lower MPG would likely be far cheaper.
E85 is normally about 15% cheaper plus the difference from having to run 91 or greater octane anyway with the car and you wind up with pretty much the difference.
My point being that I think our conversation about E85 is a mute point due to the cars requirement of high octane anyway. It's cars that run on 87 that don't seem to make up the difference.
