Shouldnt the mpg be higher? I mean mpge. If you are filling up winter blend e85 which is e70, 10 gallons from empty. Thats 7 gallons ethanol and 3 gasoline. So lets say my insight gives 40mpg on the mid or 400 miles after burning this tank. Shouldnt my fuel economy really be expressed as 133 MPGe?

BTW, I added 4.5 gallons of e85 to my insight, bumped the mpg 5mpg on my leg home. This was in sport mode cycling through the ratios as a switches lanes, passed yellow lights and kept pace with traffic.
