The "E85" Ethanol Topic

[ricci151]

Anyone use E85 yet. If so, how is the mpg.

I just ran 1 tank through mine so I can't give an accurate answer. It's my understanding that it takes a couple tanks for the ECM to fully adjust to the E85. I can say that the 1 tank I did run had a very noticeable increase in power and about a 20-25% decrease in MPG. Some of that was probably due to playing with the new found power increase though.

14mpg ( RCSB ). Halfway thru my second tank and its remaining consistent.

 

Averaged 10mpg with my 2013 ECSB as comparison.

That's what I got on my 1 and only tank.

Less cost too

 

It can be cost effective, it is for me at 15% less mileage but price between 93 and e85 makes it cheaper to run

I'm on my 1st tank and can tell the difference. I ran my tank down to below E. The cruising range had gone to fuel low and had been there for 15 miles. I wanted to be as close to running totally out as possible. I like the extra power. Here is was only 10 cents less that regular however. I would imagine a tune would give me the same response but on 87 octane.

I want your wheels, where do you park at night?

I run e85 on my truck when I worked in ND. I like the power you get from it and its usually 1$ cheaper. Can't find it where I live though. Yes you get worse gas mileage but its cost effective to have e85. If you can get it use it.

In my driveway. However I sleep in my truck 3 nights a week guess which 3.

For those wheels I would almost be willing to take those odds. What are they?

[Mutau95]

They are stock 22's that came on the truck. Not sure what they are called someone who has a Sierra said they were ordered the same wheel and it was listed as style SEY not sure if Chevy uses the same code.

Sweet, the search is on
