I average 34.5-36mpg with about a 50/50 city hwy mix. All city miles I average 32.5mpg. All highway at 60mph with AC off I average 38 with a high of 40.333. If I go on the interstate with a passenger and travel at 75mph with the AC on it drops to 31mpg. All of these mileage figures are with Straight gasoline. I have checked it with a 10% ethanol blend and mileage drops about 7% across the board.Run 6 tanks with regular gas and then 6 tanks with Ethanol blended fuel. Keep meticulous mileage records. You will never want to run ethanol again.
