running a gas engine at 9 to 1 compression on E85 will get much lower MPGs than on pure gas How ever running an E85 engine with a 13 to 1 compression ratio will get even to better MPG's than the 9 to 1 gas. An Atkinson engine of 20-1 compression ratio will match a gas of 13-1 will run similarly...
If my trip is less than a 100 miles and i am alone, I'll do 55 mph. If my wife is with me, Ill do the speed limit of 65MPH. If traffic is heavy I'll do what the slower pack members are driving.since I bought the truck I have driven about 79% highway and am getting 42 MPGs over the last 31,500...

My gage read 5% to 10% higher than hand calculated depending how much gas is pumped upon the 2nd click. The above statements are for 90% of the MPG gage.
