Well, Over the winter I had one tank that resulted in a freakishly low 10.9mpg. So after reading some of the tips and tricks on this site and adjusting my driving habits I managed to hit 15mpg. I also started using Iso-heat in every tank. Over the winter I decided to try it in case water in the tank was giving me problems. First tank I put it in I saw the MPG's jump to the 13-14 range. The tank after I didn't have one and it dropped back to 10.9mpg. I went back and forth a few times with the same results. I figure I spend about $1.50 or so a bottle to save about $15 bucks a tank.
