308 miles later 28.2 mpg



I have not posted many "tank" averages from mid-grade ethanol blending. The photo above reveals a 28.2 mpg average after 308.7 miles of driving on this mid-grade blend. My mileage drops significantly due to my short commute to work and elsewhere as I live in a small town. I even put in .72 gallons ($2.00 worth) of E85 yesterday at the Wexford GetGo station. I have an ethanol blend of somewhere around E27 and have another 90 miles or so before I am empty. No issues with the vehicle. The weather has recently changed with temperatures in the 40's the last three days.

31.0 mpg 86.5 miles later


This photos is what the Ford Dash readout is reporting on mileage a day after my latest GetGo fillup. Nice to know your mileage doesn't tank after using ethanol blends. This mileage figure will drop during the week due to my mulitple short trips and cold starts.

33.1 mpg on approximately E22 mixture

I returned to the Wexford GetGo station for more E85 (1.15 gallons) and E10 (5.2 gallons). The drive home included three stops including one of 80 minutes. The temperature was 64F while last week was 80F. The dime difference (e85=$2.75 while e10=$2.85) continued.

35.7 mpg on E25



Yes I did obtain 35.7 mpg on E25 on my drive home from the Wexford GetGo station. The difference between today and others is related to the warm 80+ day. Here is photo:
