My theory was, that because of V-Power not containing bio-ethanol. That I should be able to drive more fuel efficient.
What I look for locally is called 'clear premium'. I have used it in my 1971 Superbeetle to protect the fuel system, but there is a member here (funkhoss) who uses it in his Geo Metro and gets 87 MPG; so now I'm using it (first tank) in my 1990 XFi.

The increased price versus increased mileage suggests total cost involved versus bragging rights.
