I used to use 91-93 when I had the 3715 tuned to that, but the payoff isn't there. Especially now that high octane fuel is over $4.00 a gallon here in the Northeast. I was seeing only about half a mpg difference and that isn't worth it. So now I just run 87.

I would hate to dd a FI vehicle right now with 91-93 being so expensive.

I put a mirror down my TB looked at the front and back.. looks ok.. you can see the seal around the edges right where it should be.. no puddles.. just little oil looks like an active and working PCV valve.. not really alot in there.. actually pretty clean considering the amount of carbon i took out the TB and the Heads..

I think my CAT is clogged after I did the decarbon.. its worse and no power.. so I'm sure my CAT is clogged up.. I'll be doing this this paycheck..
