350 here.... I avg 26.5 mpg 70/30 highway/city and this is with not too many stops. Regular commute grind, I've only seen 22.5 at best. Also, I found that the comp readout is at least 1/2 mpg on the conservative side.

Well... I have an update.

This weekend was the first time I ran my car to 356 before the gas light came on! So safely I would say that I could have gottena way with 380. Car is getting better and better!

I can definitely achieve that if I do 90-100% highway

Do guys think 90 octane gas will affect my performance/mpg? That's the highest octane my town offers.
