the BEST I have gotten, driving like a grandma, shifting even BEFORE the "suggested" shifpoints that the car flashes, is 17.7mpg

when I don't care, which is most of the time, it's 16.6mpg,

Oh, and I havent added a single drop of normal gas since May, so every mile since then has been with e85, I can only get 210-220 miles from one full gas tank of e85.

I knew mpg was bad with E-85, but damn.... 😳

As far as MPG, I've gone 280 miles without the low fuel light so I'm guessing I'm near my original 30 MPG I was NA on 91 octane.

My average MPG when running full E85 NA was around 24-25 and driving like a grandma.

I just received my Delicious tune from Zach today and will be doing some datalogging to get the tune refined. I immediately found it easier to start from a stop on the Delicious tune. For some reason with the Edelbrock CARB tune, the RPMs would dip severely when letting the clutch out, resulting in more gas added and clutch slipping to get a smooth start.

Not too bad. I need to datalog as well. This is my first time having a car professionally tuned so I'm learning as I go. Finally got ecupro setup on my laptop so I can begin. Still feels like the matrix to me haha.

And you have the larger gas pump and larger injectors?

Where do you usually get your e85, propel or G&M?

I am running 91 octane only with the Edelbrock kit, no Flex Fuel at this time. Stock fuel pump and injectors.

I was getting my E85 from Chevron stations (G&M) and my ethanol content was usually around 80%.

OK. I'm averaging 19-20 mpg and that's on 91 octane gas with the edelbrock CARB tune.

First fill-up after going FI and I got 27.2 MPG.

Rock solid idle at 900 RPM with the Delicious tune, no 500-1.1k RPM idle hunting.

I'll join the sub-20 club once I go Flex Fuel.

For now, driving like a grandma with the occasional on-ramp pull.

Ah, no wonder you were on the 20's for gas milage, haha.

how r you checking your ethanol content?

i try not to use G&M because their mix advertised range is much lower than Propel. They advertise 50%-70%Max, while propel guarantees Min 70% and Max 85%.

however G&M is cheaper by 10-20 cents pergallon as compared to Propel.

Cheers,

I have the Delicious Flex Fuel kit and I use their Android app for ethanol content.

Does anyone run this kit with borla headers? Is it compatible?

Compatible with any header, as long as you have the appropriate tune ie won't work if you use the supplied CARB tune but an e-tune like a Delicious tune or a local tuner will work.
