I've played with some blends earlier this year with the Stratus, March thru June. Here's a piece of my data, these tanks were all back to back. Most recent first, so some of the upward gain is also changing driving habits.


35.13 E0 mileage
30.06 E44 mileage
33.57 E24 mileage
32.28 E16 mileage
33.05 E10 mileage
30.73 E21 mileage

"Note the above data won't compare to new data"

I've just refilled after restarting my E blend experiments, first tank of E32 gave 32.02 mpg, today I put in 9 gallons of E10 and then finished fill with E85 to a E25 blend.

Also my most recent 3 tank E10 average was 35.58. most recent E0 3 tank was 36.09.

So roughly E32 gives 89% the mileage of E0, E10 give about 98.6% of E0, and E32 give about 90% of E10 mileage. Cost per mile is within 1/10 of a cent per mile.

I'm actually surprized at the E32 mileage, just a single tank but I squeezed in as much E85 in as I could both times and wasted a little tonight.

Temps also going down fast, 30-40f mornings going into 20's for this next tank. Car definelty likes hot weather best.

Speaking of GDI + turbo, nissan Juke has my interest, it requires premium so E15-20 blend would be plenty high octane wise, trying to get one of my brother to buy one. Awd rated at 30 mpg hwy I know I could get to 35 or better.

Taking the Impala on a almost 1000 mile road trip this weekend, I'll fill it up with E85 tomorrow night and collect some data for it over the weekend.
