I think I am going to have to get serious about monitoring my gas mileage. I have long wondered what the difference in mileage would be from a tank of premium and regular in this vehicle. As stated above, it was designed to run on extremely low octane gas if need be, but Im also not sure if the difference would be enough to justify paying 20 cents or more a gallon for the sweet stuff. The next couple of fillups will tell.
In my thinking though, I at least feel like running high octane fuel will reduce engine deposits over time and save me a little money from having to do more maintenance because of it. Someone please flame me if I sound like an idiot!
