But anyway, maybe the lower ethanol content in the gasoline there becomes favorable to your mileage goals despite the automatic transmission and the V8, at least on highway.
That 300i6 was a heck of an engine, even after Ford stopped using them in their trucks they remained popular for industrial and fleet use. My kid brother's '82 F150 had one as well.

There are a few gas stations around here that sell ethanol-free gas but it is expensive and not nearby, most everything else is 10%.
