Re: octane
Hmmm... Interesting. It would be interesting to see what version of the software we are all running in our PCMs. I can easily get 30 mpg on the highway as long as I keep my foot off the loud pedal. I average 26 around town.
One other thing that may come into play is the formulation of the gas we use. Every region of the US (Sorry, I can't speak for anywhere out of the continental US because I have no first-hand experience there) has its own unique gasoline formulation, and that even changes between summer and winter. I can easily tell when the gas stations in my area change from the summer to the winter blend because my mileage gets noticeably worse. It happened with my Prelude and I'm having a similar experience with my Crossfire. Maybe it's time for another poll...
