You really should!
Just knocked out another one tank trip with Cleveland's finest winter blend e10 and doing 5-10mph over with cruise control. Two people, 150ish lbs of stuff, but only one dog this time. But alas, the math only showed 31.xxmpg. Apparently it fit 18 gallons of gas in, but the low fuel light never came on (18.5 gal tank). The pump however did have it's tamper proof seal tampered with. I noticed only after I paid and spent the next hour getting a new credit card, filing a report with the gas station's company, and with the local police.
I'd have high hopes for one equipped with either the newer 5 speed auto or the manual. This isn't my car so there is no ecomodding.
