Here is an example of a sequence a few days ago between 77 and 80° while cruising on an A-road (the 6,410 revs was a kick-down in sport mode!). Mind that the mpg (l/100 km) is overstated. In fact I'm doing a 22.6 mpg (12.5 l/100 km) average in the space of 4 years, but Torque Pro can't cope correctly with E85. The rather freezing temperature is a mocked one because of the 24k Ohms resistor which is tricking the ECU to give more fuel and comply with E85 stoechiometric ratio (1:14.7 instead of 1:9.7 for E5).
