If it didnt make sense to you Im sorry, but it did make sence. No Im not Rich, I make about 5700 a month at what I do so Im not rich, I just work my butt of to afford the living I want.

And to help what I said make sence all I was saying is how much time does someone have to do rediculous crap like that? Old cars are made simple, but VERY well built, new cars are almost to the point where they need a finger scan and a dna test just to get the car running! I would rather drive my 93 gt that gets 19 mpg in town, then some REDICULOUS frankenstang that somebody built that gets 110mpg. Like I said, just a preference.

its 110 miles per gallon of gasoline.

from another board:

---------------------------------------------
Since it's running on E85, every gallon consumed is only .15 gallon of gasoline. That means it burns 6.67 gallons of E85 in order to actually burn an entire gallon of pure gasoline.

Let's say the car does indeed get 110 miles per gallon of gasoline. That means it gets 110 miles per 6.67 gallons of E85. This equates to 16.5 miles per gallon of E85 burned.

Finally, don't forget that "flex fuel" cars (those that can run on E85 and E0) will see about 30% worse economy when running on E85 compared to running on E0. So if this guy's car sees 16.5 miles per gallon of E85, that would equate to about 23.5 miles per gallon of straight gasoline were he to switch over.

From what I've seen, 23.5 mpg is completely plausible for a 400 HP 5.0L Mustang while cruising in 5th gear at legal speeds.
