E85 fuel mileage? I know it’s 550hp, who cares, but still curious

[0000 RS5]

As the title suggests, what are those of you running an E85 tune seeing for gas mileage?

[achenator]

Not on it yet but doesn't it take like 30% more volume to create the same energy? So 30% less economy?

I average 260. I get 340on road trips. Worse I e gotten is 160 driving the day in the canyons.

260 is better gas mileage than I average stock on 91 octane.

With the A/C on, driving "spirited" around town I've been measuring 16-17 mpg. Highway seems to be around 20 if crusin. The factory mpg gauge is really inaccurate, I measure mpg by using total miles driven and how much gas I fill up.

E85 has been really addicting with the powa, having way too much fun burning da !

I’ve been running on E70 now for 15k miles or so. My daily commute is around 50 miles. I usually fill up when 30-40 mile range indicated.

My E70 mileage has been pretty poor since I use the car to commute in stop and go traffic as well as gunning it when I do have open space to enjoy the power. I'm seeing 16-19 depending on how bad the traffic has been and how heavy my foot is.

I see up to 30 mpg indicated when at cruise in D on the freeway but I haven't had a long traffic-free trip to verify the actual MPG of E70 on a long highway drive.

260 is about what I average DDing the car on 1+ w/94.... so not bad at all.

Prices of E85 over here still worth it. Some Pearson stations had E85 for $2.10 a gal today! Normally around $2.80 a gal.

^ That’s a pretty good price. Luckily on Long Island it’s usually $1.90 a gallon or less. I don’t have a RS3 yet but I average 9mpg or less

You definitely make a lot more trips to the gas station, but it almost balances out with the savings

I am seeing 16mpg. But it is cheap. Pity my closest station is 25 mins away..

Petro canada correct? I used to get 480km on stock tune, with stage 1 I'm getting 500-540, depending on driving style. My commute is 60% highway though

Make sure your calculating it and not using what the car says.

I know in the gtr world everyone thought they were getting great fuel economy until they realized the dash wasn't calibrated properly for the fueling changes

I actually got good cruising MPG in my GTR when I was e85 FBO. When I went stroker Alpha 12, not so much.

I reset my trip every fill up and that’s what I go by. I have made many of trips to Vegas and it’s around 330 miles away. I get in to town with 20-30 miles left until empty. This is cruising at 85 with some occasionally speed runs.
