Speed limit here is 70 so I tend to do 70-80+
I likely get some benefit from drafting - I don't tailgate excessively but do follow closely enough to "give a hint." when appropriate.
I also lock the manumatic into fifth gear as soon as I hit highway speeds.

I'm sure you can get it to work. I have run E30 in my factory setup with no problems. I check long term fuel trims when doing this and it was not out of range. I did loose a few MPG. I am back to E10 for $$ reasons. When I run out of contracted E10 for $3.09 I'll probably go back to mixing an E30.
If you want to email me or PM me I'd try to help you with installation or any mechanical questions you might have. If you are local to me I'd be happy to assist.

Thanks for the info. I really appreciate it. Somehow I have the idea to install it, base on my reasearched online. SALAMAT PO!

I already installed the flex fuel kit to my mazda5 2008. It is working well, almost 2 weeks that it is running E85 for only $2.70, 35 MPG & a lot of speed. I am saving a lot of money. You just need a lot of research and faith. Thanks!
What kit? Where did you get it?
I don't have E85 near me, but thought the info would be good for the thread.(nana)
It is a conversion kit to help your fuel injection to accept E85 to the engine. You can buy in any E85 station or online (http://www.change2e85.com/servlet/StoreFront). Enjoy!

There is no way you gained mpg off of E85. It has 25% less BTU than gasoline. To get the same amount of power and match its air:fuel ratio it requires more fuel for the same load.
