Anyone else getting raped on MPG in the H3 with the I5 ? Its terrible! I always try to hit stations without it and seem to do much better.

 

E85 fuels do not yield as high as regular gaslone in mpg. The cost of e85 is much less and when you work it out penny for penny, you get the same mpg for the same dollar... except with e85 you fill up more.

However, one good thing can be taken from e85, is that 85% of your fuel does not come from the mideast

 

Most states mandate the amount of Ethonal that is in Gasoline and it may very based on season. In most cases the ethoal content is the same from one station to the next.

 

Trooper; do you have the E85 conversion in your H3 or are you talking about the 10% or so they add to all gas?

 

No I just have the regular I5. No conversion.

 

I can't complain about the mileage only the price of fuel.

In LA it is hard to keep the speed down on the freeways but on my next long trip I will try to keep it at 65 MPH to see how it does.

 

17.5+ MPG with 87 Octane, 13.8 MPG 87 Octane W/10% Etanol
