All this ... and the Fuel Economy improves?

Hi Guys,

you need to buy the fuel from the same vendor, and ideally from the same station to do mileage analyses, as the octane rating has a federal allowance of an unbelievable 18% accuracy.

Note that higher octane = lower milage as octane is an efficiency inhibitor. Of course, under boost... :&gt

If you want to read some great material on improving mileage in performance engines, search google for "acetone fuel additive".

Why...That same gas truck may go to all different type of gas stations.....Not like back in the old days when each gas company had ther own gas trucks...

What's happening in this crazy world???????.....you and I agree again!

While I suppose I can see the arguement for staying within in the same brand for comparative testing, staying at the same station won't ensure anything as that 18% drift can occur between deliveries to the same station.

the acetone theory was debunked by the myth busters tv show. it actually decreased mileage.
