Well just turned over 1K miles last night and when I filled up I was getting 14.85 MPG. Gained about 2 MPG over the last take

Hoping to do fairly well going up to NC next weekend.

I use Shell regular unleaded and the best mpg I have gotten is about 15.3 with about 4500 miles driven. I do have quite a few hills in the area that I live in, which affects that number a little.

After the first tank of regular unleaded (87), I filled up with super unleaded (93), and I've noticed much better response from the engine. Not huge, but noticeable. Worth the few extra pennies IMHO.

Here in Venezuela the gasolines are 91 and 95 octanes.

And you will not beleive the cost !!!

0.12 U$ / Gallon = 91 octane
0.16 U$ / Gallon = 95 octane

Incredible but true........
