Since I haven't filled up again, I don't know the true economy and have to rely on the computer, which tends to be optimistic. Once I can fill it, I can do the math and see exactly what it used. Once I start driving normally, I do expect mid-20s like you.

I get about 19-20mpg local haha. But you are suppose to get a significant drop. E85 burns faster in comparison to regular gasoline. It's why even though the cost per gallon is a lot less, it's about equivalent overall per mile.

Oof. I was getting about 30-32mpg per tank on 93, so I'm still hoping I can eek out mid-20s on E85. We'll see pretty soon because this tank is going quickly, lol. Good thing E85 is about $1.00 less per gallon than 93.

Out of curiosity, how are you gauging you mpg? When I switched, I noticed a drop from ~31 mpg to ~25 mpg.

Topped off this morning and have burned through 7 gallons since Sunday. CPU indicated mileage = 30.0mpg, actual mileage = 22.7mpg. LOL.

Scraped the right corner of the front lip against a curb... for the SECOND time. Am I the only idiot who can't figure out where the corners are on this car?

Going to try to spray it myself.

Do you have an aftermarket lip installed? If not, I'd get one of the cheap ones off eBay (I have the BaysonR). It'll protect your painted bumper and you won't mind scraping anything as much when it happens.

Had my windshield replaced...

Seal/weatherstrip is a bit uneven along the top now but not enough to warrant having it redone unless it causes a problem *shrug*

Edit: I was able to carefully run my credit card along the weatherstrip and tuck it back into it's proper position. Silly me.
