Slambo - '99 Honda Civic HX
90 day: 44.21 mpg (US)

I run 87 octane (US) E10 Regular primarily and have run some 91 octane E10 Premium tanks. Differences were negligible.

I've run two tanks of 87 octane E0. The slight bump in MPGs wasn't worth the added cost.

I'd like to roll the dice on a couple of tanks of E15 and E30 to see what happens, but I need to do a bit more research first.

My HX lacks cruise control, so highway tests are (more) prone to fluctuation.

And on the EGR setup, was it full of carbon at higher milages? Any gain on blocking it off? Does the US car have a single wire o2 sensor?
Mine is the japanese import EK hatch with D15B '3 stage vtec' and 1st gen cvt. It runs at bang on 2500rpm at 100km/h, seems to work best at around 90-95km/h with the gearbox in E mode (buttons on steering wheel).
