What gasoline do you use?

Caltex did a comparison where they drove a some cars under identical conditions and they found that the premium fuel got better economy due to the additives not the octane rating.

no, just no.

you are right about cheap gas though.  all you guys going to costco should stop.  their gas is awful and messed up my mom and sisters car.  my sister works their and all the employees cars were acting up.  they found out their gas is terrible quality.  got their cars fixed and stopped filling up there, problem solved.
