Has anyone test the real mileage

[JesusTheAgnostic]

I pay $2.80 for 91, and E85 around here is 1.85 so it would be about the same cost, maybe slightly cheaper to run E85 for me.

Ethanol-free gas stations in the U.S. and Canada

I don't worry about pure gas for my daily drivers that were designed to run on E10.

But I do run E0 in my toy cars with carbs that weren't designed for ethanol use.

Interesting, I think it seems we don't have a lot of Ethanol gas around here. Is it bad to fill a Ethanol gas for Sonic? My friend tell me if the engine is not designed for it and it might not be good. I am not sure about Sonic engine.

The Sonic was designed to run on 10% ethanol which is the E10 we have been referring to.

E85 is up to 85% ethanol and are cars are not designed to run on it.

To run E85 in our cars would require specific modifications.

Well, I drove about 170 miles on freeway and I used about 6 gallon gas. It seems the mileage is not good. I turned on heater, but the lowest setting "1". Does AC or heater use a lot of gas?

Thanks

No impact on mileage. I am tuned though

The A/C can have a slight effect, the heater has zero effect.

6 gallons to go 170 miles is 28.5mpg. That seems low, but it depends what you mean by "freeway driving". If you are going 65mph, your fuel mileage is low, and there may well be something wrong with your car. If your idea of freeway driving is 95mph, 28.5mpg seems about right.

I think the speed ranging from 55 - 75 mph, the average is about 65 mph. I don't think we can drive 95 mph here.

Okay, well I had no idea where you are. if you are getting 28.5 mpg at speeds ranging from 55-75 mph, there is clearly something wrong with your car. You should have it examined by a competent mechanic as soon as possible. Your Sonic should be getting 32-35 mpg under the conditions you describe. Please please please have your car repaired as soon as possible.

If you have an RS, drive rapidly to most destinations and live in Colorado that's a perfectly acceptable number...

It is not RS. It is LT.
