Re: 5ktq Fuel Economy
You sure must have done a great deal of of accurate testing to come to these
conclusions. Multiple trips with three types of gas, in isolated driving
types. Assuming the mileage differance is outside of statistical error, was
the mileage increase more than the increase in cost of the higher fuel?
Any thoughts why you only get higher mileage with higher octane @ constant
(hwy) motor speeds?
Perhaps just the higher detergant content of premium, _unrelated_ to octane.
