well at least it helps with you guys getting better gas mileage, that you have better octane available our 91 cough cough your 87 or 89 octane is about the equivalent, although ive noticed my gas mileage, has slightly improved with the use of the lucas fuel stabilizer quart sized bottle... that stuff will help you improve mpg....

I average about 23 highway and 21 city.... if I'm being a good boy.... Ever since I started moding I get better gas mileage just depends on how aggressive you drive and if you can keep out of the boost.

I get 24mpg city without crazy hyper-miler mods to the ECU. Just keep out of the boost. And to those questioning the better half...wonder how many are single vs married? Gas is cheap compared to Bebe, Burberry that some women spend on....

OP, seriously, just tell her not to worry about the gas mileage, the difference is negligible. If you were smart enough to marry a blonde, that word should end the argument.

She's blonde. I'll try it.

yea and your point zero four, e85 stations here in socal are spread pretty thin, from my house with e85, its a 10 mile drive one way to a station that carries it. Once you get out towards oc/la county then there are more but theres still not one in every pump. So until the time comes that there at every pump ill just run this ****ty 91 octane w the fuel stabilizer.

theres a difference between cheaper and readily available, closest two to my house are over 10 miles away 1 way. While not far, those bein really the only two in the area, makes it not worth it yet, and in my opinion id rather stay with one style of gas till its more available then id convert over.

I see 16-18 MPG (mostly all-city). Stray out of boost? What are the numbers/mods/builds in the sigs for?
