Just refilled, 2 days to work, plus another 60 miles, computer incidate 31.3 mpg, was 31.9 when I got to work yesterday, but some city driving after work pulled it down to that before I got back on the highway and couldn't pull it back up with below 20F temps and wind. Refill gave 32.2 mpg calculated, I think actual is somewhere between.

With the price of E10 rising, E85 is almost competitive again in cost/mile. And with a little more learning how to drive it better I think it can beat the Stratus. Malibu no contest, Impala wins. I hope I can say in 190,000 more miles that the Impala will displace the Malibu as my best car buy ever. (Malibu's at 250,000 miles for $10k initial price and $450 in no-normal wear item parts).
