    Well congrats on being able to play the smallest banjo lmao
    what im saying though , is I'm waiting for e85 too. So letting OP know not to be discouraged as its really not a game-ender for his build.
    Im actually pretty excited to try it out myself, but I'm not the only one who drives my car at times so hopefully a few more spots pop up

    I have about 3-5 stations within 20 mile of me. Its a pain to find when im out and about but my solution to that is fill up when im near a half tank.

    I get about 20.5 mpg give or take so about 210 miles before it goes to the low fuel light. I figured the mpg out by zeroing the trip meter on fill up. So its not bad at all.

    Ya same 180-210

    Straight driving maybe 260-280 non stop on road trips. that was with my s1x and l67

    ill see how the brand new l26 and s3 cam perform.

    I still think when I first got my car stock except for 3.4 / DHP tune / downpipe I was in the 300s

    Thats odd, my gauge must be calibrated for gas or something then. Oh well. Ive gone from putting in 40 a week to 18-25 a week in fuel due to cost so im still happy.

    10-14 in the winter was great, 16-18 summer all city.

    And even when I was "modded" with headers, intake, 3.6 and a tune I could still pull 400 miles to a tank all freeway without a problem.

    I filled up a week ago and managed 330 miles to the tank with a gallon left over. It was a mix of city and highway.

    I got 18 miles per gallon on my last tank. my average miles per gallon almost always reads 1 mpg better than it actually is, and ironically, the fuel consumed is about 1 gallon off on each tank. I'm digging the low fuel costs as well.
