Ohhhh, anything really. Just see what I can do. We have only been able to manage 25 mpg average in the shadow, except on the WV trip. So maybe 30 mpg in the shadow? The mpg In my tbird's profile is from a recent 60 mile drive. If I could get a consistent 35 mpg out of it that would be awesome.

I was discussing E85 on another forum and I said something about how its only 30 cents cheaper than gas here, and probably not worth it, and a guy made a point when he said its 105 octane and 50 cents cheaper than 91-93 octane premium. With the higher octane you can run more advanced timing and higher boost, which should in turn increase mileage. Might be worth trying.

I couldnt help but notice the "SVO" in your name. Are you familiar with Turbo fords?
