In the early 90's I owned a Toyota mr2 which averaged around 37 mpg on the then leaded fuel,when I filled it with unleaded it only managed around 33 1/2 mpg.
Changing to a Peugeot 205 turbo diesel I made up a chart to check its mpg and pence /liter on diesel ,I think it started at 37p/liter to 45p/liter ! The best I ever got was about 50 mpg.
I think if the government could get away making it E50 because it's green they would do.
