    I was getting 30mpg last time I checked (on the way to SCN). Now that I've made the switch to E85 and a reflashed ecu(and still using utec), we'll see how things are.

    BTW, my car has never felt/launched better than since I put E85 in

        And some muscle car like an late 80s camaro or something is any different.

        I didnt have a problem with comfort and i was in the seat for 8 hours. I just know for a fact that my buddies 88 camaro was just as uncomfortable as a civic(old)

            usually when people say "the mustang" or "the civic" or "the gsx" or somethign like that, they are referring to their car.

              That doesn't mean that they still have the vehicle, hence the use of the word "would."

                  When some1 would refer to a car they previously had... wouldnt they something like "my old car" or "my past car"?

                            Did you have to replace much of the fuel system for that? I've been pondering switching myself, if I can find large enough injectors.

                                I didn't change anything in the fuel system. Theres a debate over whether you need to get rid of all the rubber pieces in the fuel system or not since ethanol can break down the rubber and cause it to flake off, but in reading about other subie owners that are running E85 w/ no changes for a couple of years with no problems, I'd say that I'm willing to try w/o making any changes for a while.

                                        P.S. Yes, it is a low torqu 4banger, but the light weightness of it makes up for it. Just ask Shane on his lotus on how the light weight makes his car handle;)
