xr6t ego Member 1,112 Member For: 18y 1m 5d Gender: Male Location: PERTH WA Posted 12/10/13 11:56 AM Share Posted 12/10/13 11:56 AM There's enough people out there with E85 so I was wondering what sort of mileage are people getting from a tank of E85.Obviously it depends on the driver and how much WOT they are giving it, the power the car is making and set up, but I'm interested to see how it all compares and what people are getting.I've just had a tune done and my first tank I just scraped in 250k's with a moderate amount of fast pedal action. I've got 458RWKW's, ID 1000's and the usual Nizpro goodies in a 2006 BF sedan.So tell me what your getting.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a 100% increase over 98. Surely to be averaging 20L+/100km, you blokes running the hippy juice must be flat footing it all over the shop? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 13/10/13 07:19 AM Share Posted 13/10/13 07:19 AM yeah that's about right for a tank~! if you want to have close to 400 maybe do a e40... half e85 / 98 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
