I have been wanting to test this for a while, but it would have been difficult before now to compare tanks of plus and regular because I hadn't nailed down how to drive this car. The clutch is so so so much different than any other stick-shift I've ever driven. I'm thinking I might try my next tank as regular and see if there's a difference. I've been filling with plus because my car seems to run smoother, and there WAS a noticeable difference in MPG on my old truck with plus VS. regular.
You're right though, this is something I need to look into.
