Cheap GAS === Shoutty Low MPG :(

I had a $20 of low cost no-name 93 gas...

What a mistake... 1/2 tank at 187 miles instead of 250 miles...
No power...

No more stuff like this in my tank...

Next, 93 from Gulf , Taxaco or Mobil... + an one of those:

Yeah, you gotta stick with what you know. Out here in CA it's Chevron or Mobil. I've been getting 18-20 mpg. I expect the numbers to go up in a few thousand miles.

wow... 250 on 1/2 tank... thats impressive

i usually end up refilling at about 300-340 and it takes about 15-16 galons, it seems like you end up refilling at about 500 miles giving you what, somewhere around 29 miles/gal if you fill up 17 galons??!?!?! thats very very impressive!!!

do you not ever go above 2000rpms?

I drive hard, cruise at 90..., couple VTEC pushes while merging...

I have a 34 ( x2 ) miles commute, 26 miles HW, 8 miles back roads.

Last fill up ( before the bad GAS ) was 14.3 Galons for 369 miles or 25.8 MPG.

I you drive on flat road... and you can achieve 30 MPG you would expect 450 Miles before the red light...

And the above STP bottle DOES make a difference...
