You guys are so lucky. I think the most I got from a fill up of 9.5 gallons was like 390 miles.

My MID normally says 44-47 MPG between tanks. I put 1-1/2 ounces of that Amsoil 2-cycle oil in my gas tank like that Magic Mechanic in Orlando said and so far the MID is saying 41 MPG. So in reality, now I may be getting only 37 MPG. I didn't hear the entire show and don't know if that only works for low compression engines, old cars or cars that use 93 octane. Since our engines have a 13:1 compression the way many high performance racing engines do and the mix of 87 octane, maybe that has something to do with it. I'll have to see if my mileage goes up when I change my 0w20 oil and see if that helps. It would be nice if everybody stated their current mileage along with their tank of gas.

So far I have over 1300 miles on my odometer. My tires are at about 37 lbs each. I drive about 85% stop and go in city traffic.

I think I will try 89 octane during my next tank. I doubt that will make any difference, but I want to give it a shot. I've seen some posts saying that they see no difference between 87 or 93 octane.

I've been using Hess gas.
