Message	But I keep hearing different things from people. So this is an interesting thread. What's the gas consumption like ? My mechanic says you get great gas mileage, or at least the same as pump (depending on how u drive) Another kid who had a boosted Civic, said he got 12 miles to the TANK... said E85 is garbage and dont do it unless its just a drag car. But for daily driving...dont! Plus the added expenses of upgrading fuel lines, the 1000cc injectors, fuel pump, blah blah blah. Not sure if its worth it for a daily driver.
