I'm sensing a hint of disbelief... I am scientific enough to put my word where my mouth is and will fuel with regular gas for the next few weeks. I fill up every 6 days on average, so this will not be resolved quickly. However, maybe the gains I think I am experiencing are really not there - maybe it was the break-in period when we bought this car - who knows. My goal to have my lifetime average over 37 mpg this year may have to wait, but at least it's a worthy cause, no? (For the record: I will try to not change my driving habits in an attempt to be as objective as possible. Let's see if my wife will notice.)
