My V6 averages 22.5 mpg on nearly 15k miles only fuelled by full E85, hence around 40/45 mpg of equivalent petrol, given that in France a 95 unleaded litre is approx. 1.45€ (diesel 1.40€) when the same of E85 is approx. 0.65€. I'd taken into account the increased quantity of E85 (+20/25% compared to 95 unleaded). Not so bad...
