Yep, I'm currently getting around 7-8 mpg, not that I really care.

Just dropped in the FIC 114 lb/hr injectors, updated the tune, and it fired up and ran like there was never even a change from the 42 lb injectors lol. Awesome.

My mileage got killed going to full e85 as well... Tempting to go back to my 50/50 mixture. How much is e85 over there?

Last tank was $2.91 a gallon. 87 gas was $3.41.

And yeah, E85 sucks for mileage. As I said above I'm getting about 150 miles per fillup (7 mpg) and I do drive all city and I go into boost quite often.

I just say e85 here for $3.60, 15 cents over 91... This might not last.

It's worth it for the added security over gasoline. Also, my engine bay is significantly cooler with E85 so I know EGTs are down. Dont you have the warpig for DD duty? I only DD my truck a couple days a week too.

Yeah I do. I have been putting miles on the truck cause I'm trying to figure out some problems. Going to park it anyway, though.. Back to the geo.
