Last 10 fill-ups using 89: 15.4 MPG
First 10 fill-ups using 87: 16.8 MPG
I may have overestimated when I posted, so I stand corrected. Where I'm at, 89 octane is a 10% blend with ethanol and ethanol is not the greatest when it comes to performance.

A tuner such as a Diablosport Predator will give more power and better economy. I get over 18mpg running the 93 octane tune in the summer. Even better if I was a bit easier on the pedal. The gain actually saves me $1.26 a tank paying .20 more a gal due to the mpg increase. CAi kits and exhaust will not give much of any gain in mpg.
