il tell you what, its cheap as hell. usually costs me 58-59$ to fill the tank from when there are zero LEDs left and the distance reads --

I love it. The 100 octane I used to run in my 350z was twice as much.

With the E85, you do definitely notice the reduction in gas mileage, there is no denying it. But its not so bad, it doesnt bother me. Only one thing about it sucks... my 370z, the fuel level reading is a lot more sensitive on the lower end then it is on the top end. I can drive forrrrrever on the first half tank.

the second half tank... not so much. I can barely get anywhere. If I leave my house with 5 dots on the gauge, seriously 20 min later I am at 2 dots and need to get fuel ASAP because I am almost out.

Last week I actually had a hilarious close call, my car ran out of gas 5 feet from the E85 pump. I know I was going to die any second I actually blew 2 stoplights and a stopsign on the way.. The car died a half block from the station but I was goin 50 or so, I was able to coast in and navigate all but the very last turn up to the pump. LOL a lady at the pump next to me helped me push it up!
