I get about 19-21 in the city depending on how I drive. However if its a bunch of short trips around town ive seen as low as 17.5 mpg. On the highway usually around 23-24mpg...but the only time I drive it on the highway is to the track or somewhere with a bunch of people and we mess around the whole way to our destination

Cold start will suck actually. These aren't dual fuel vehicles so it isn't really designed to run e85.

Going E85 and worrying about your fuel economy is like getting a hooker to come to your house and worrying about what movie she'll want to watch.

On about my third tank of e47. I put gas in at about 170 miles. It is probably within a half gallon of full each time. I hand calculated 19 mpg and dic reads 28. I drive spirited. Dcfo is set earlier and disengages at 1800 rpm. When i meet up with my tuner i am gonna have it set very aggressive. I also turn off my car at long lights. Mods 2.8, 80, 3" intake, ls4, header, dp, stock catback, opt-b.
