Just filled up again and got 19.4 on this last tank!!
I didn't baby it too much, it's too tempting for me to stay out of that sweet boost! I notice I get 1-2 mpg better with 93 octane vs. 91 or 92 octane anyone else note this?
Just wondering what you guys are seeing with yours?

Never checked, 4th car, stays in garage all week, drive 2-3 times a week at night. Nice stress reliever.

T3 Cobra, Like you this is strictly a pleasure car, '89 Taurus day to day junker and '02 Ranger 4x4 for winter. But I still like to follow what I'm getting mileage wise. The numbers as listed were such a drop off from my '01 that I needed to check this cars mileage and like I thought it isn't nearly as bad as the EPA numbers would lead a person to believe.
To you others, thanks for the input, seems I'm right in the middle of the curve.


Topracer, where do you get your 94 octane from, highest pump octane I've found so far is 93. Are you mixing.


Streetsnake, are you running 93 octane, I saw a marked improvement over 91 octane when I switched.
