370 on a tank? Wow, I barely broke 250 the other day and the gauge was below empty. I don't remember how many gallons I put in, but that was my best ever of 22mpg on pump. Last time I checked I got 18mpg with 1/3 freeway & 2/3 city driving on E85, but I was driving conservative, very conservative.

Best MPG I got was going to shoot out too. I got 26mpg on E85. I was excited. Normal daily driving I get atrocious mpgs. All city driving and it barely gets to operating temp before it gets shut down. That nets me 15mpg on weeks where I don't get road rage. Funny thing is in city driving I get withing a mpg of each other whether using 93 oct or e85.

*edit* I could probably get a pretty decent increase in mpg on pump if I played more with the timing, but I don't like getting that aggressive on pump.

At what speed were you traveling at? I feel like I don't get much better fuel mileage when I'm on the 1 hr freeway drive to family, but I cruise at 80mph.

I usually see around 19-20 with my car for highway/city. I think I get close to 25 on long trips, mostly highway speeds.

That means basically nothing with how inaccurate our fuel gauges are and without knowing how full you filled you tank beforehand.

Some of you guys seem to get really good MPG. My stock car gets about 23-25 city/highway if I am lucky. I think I typically got around 25 mpg in my other with exhaust etc.

What's your longest trip? Trips are almost always going to net you better mpg. My best mostly highway mileage is only 23 on non long road trip driving.
