hey just giving some insight on some observations. Alot of 86'ers drive on e85 and it does provide less gas mileage than regular pump and some people were worried about the low gas mileage. i noticed that the blend might be a little better now and im experiencing decent mpg using e85, and just trying to show that regardless numbers speak for it self 0-60 5.9sec and 1/8 in 9.1 is pretty much in line with a 350z and i had an extra 200lbs in my car during the run so i'd probably be at like 5.5-5.6 0-60 and late 8sec in the 1/8

The reason your indicated mpg changes so much has to with idle time and fuel cutoff. Driving around my wrx i would notice that the numbers were skewed with excessive coasting in gear, showing better mileage than reality.

Also when you fill the style and angle of the pump not to mention topping off will change your calc. it doesn't matter much on larger tanks but when your putting in less than 10gal .3 to .5 gal will change your numbers a lot
