Need the right tuner to get good gas mileage I was getting over 26MPG overall average running E85, which was similar to what I was getting on the stock tune on pump gas. With a pump gas tune my overall average is now 28.5 with a mix of driving.

There are ways to make more power and still get better mileage still

if your worried about warranty don't go e85. any tech is going to smell the fuel when it's running

There are ways to bring in the power smoother and keep the clutch holding fine.

I haven't seen Vince's TF MPG's, anyone wanna chime in on that that has a T E85 tune??

I'm not saying I have the TF E85 tune, but if I did have it, I would be getting the aforementioned 15 miles/gal.
