This isn't a result of being boosted. If you take a TT 370z and take the MPG readings, and THEN convert to E85 (just as Blake did), your MPG's will indeed decrease.
Theory and practice are not always the same thing. When I go through a tank of fuel and do a manual calculation at the pump, we'll know for sure.

I clearly demonstrated E85 making power with absolutely zero timing map changes. I've seen this on every N/A car I've converted to E85.

In fact simply stating the fuel allows you to possibly run more timing to make more power is nothing more than an assumption. In many cases I've had N/A motors that want zero timing map changes on the fuel over the pump gas map.
