Let me add some food for thought bout mileage and I am glad to see the prices dropping here in Fort Worth, TX, reg is 1.08, med grade is 1.16 and premium is 1.24.
I went on vacation in August, drove from FW to VA. I did a few tests, freeway driving, bout 75 with AC and hauling bout 700# of stuff.
When running reg I got bout 18, premium i got bout 18.5 and when running med grade i got bout 19. ????
Two times I was able to drive faster, running with some truckers, drove bout 85-90 ( 100 miles+), I got over 21! On mid grade! I barely saw Mississippi! LOL
Let me add something, I installed a Flowmaster SUV series single inlet and dual outlet, it did seem to lose some of the bottom end power, but damn above 3000 it pulls hard. And it seemed to be just idling.
And my conclusion is driving at 90 you are able
to get better gas mileage! LOL
In early Oct I installed a Fernco intake, the 90 and a piece of PVC and my round town mileage went up to 17+, and i am not easy on the gas.

I work in a gas station and we are in a Gas War. The guys across the street are @ 24 cents a gallon with a free car wash with a fill up. I'm washing windows, checking air pressure in tires, and just for kicks I threw in a free tire repair because this the second time I had to put air in this guys tire, whew! I think we are going to go down to 23 cents a gallon and run this guy across the street out of business. Whats that sound, HUH, OH! its the alarm clock, I GUESS I WAS BACKK IN 1974. How many of you guys remember these days.
Fill your car up, a carton of smokes, pop, snacks and enough to take your chick to a movie for a ten dollar bill. 57 Cheevy was king then baby.

The fernco was a yearnfor, we turned the lid on the air cleaner upside down that left a gap in it, Vroooom and the 90 is what we paid for a roast beef dinner (thats cents), Oh what if we had a 4.7L in a malibu back then. Weeeeeeeee!!! You young guys enjoy it while you can, remember it, live it and drive safe. Stay off drugs and don't D & Drive. Hey Man, it don't last forever, don't treat it like it does. Mabel, Pass the Viagra, Mabel, Wake up Mabel !
