Run some Techron thru, 20oz bottle with a full tank.
Use premium for a few fillup to see what that yields also, premium for premium if you will, lowest ever right now, your car will know the difference.
Agree keeping tires ~40psi.
I'd think even with ethenol and a heavy foot you should be close to 30mpg.
Driving above 65mph may cost a MPG or two. Unless you're stop and go all the time I don't think gentle driving will add much. What kind of highway speeds are we talking about?
I've been getting personal best 32.5mpg, primarily 60mpg with some rural in town mixed in, tires at 40psi+ w/ Mobil 92 octane, no ethanol. Highway at 75mph will drop me to 30.5mpg.
