Depends on how much you drive. I was getting 19-20mpg on the highway and 14 around town on the stock turbo/e85. With the bigger turbo I suspect the mileage is gonna go up a little, but probably not much when I go back to it.

This is a pretty ridiculous question; it's right up there with "what's your monthly payment?" There are way too many variables involved to the point where any answer is pretty much useless.
For more pertinent information, check out one of the E-85 gas mileage threads:
i.e. 248.3 Miles to one tank of E-85

The purpose of this question is to find out how many gallons of E85 people go through in an average month. I already know how many miles I go through and what the average mpg is, I just want to find out for distribution and costing reasons, what the average consumption rate is for E85 per month.

Safe bet is about 30% more then premium gas since it takes 30% more fuel.....I suspect its maybe a little more then that because I'm sure people (Like me) have a hard time staying out of it.

In-town driving only - very seldom use the freeway. Live three miles from my office.
Over the past 14 months, I have averaged 64.72 gals of E85 per month.
FWIW, mpg average is 13.99.

I live in SoCal, and its a 30min drive to the E85 pump in Brentwood. I take my car and three 5 gallon jugs with me when I go fill up. The tank will last a week and the three 5 gallon jugs will last another week, so I go once every 2 weeks. I average about 45-60 gallons per month.
