As someone previously mentioned, the stations in Florida mostly have 87, 89 and 93 (even the Sunoco I last visited). I switch back and forth between the 89 and 93 each time I gas up. I figure I'm around 90 - 92 on average with those two. My in-town driving averages 19.5 - 23.5. I haven't been on the highway enough to test the mileage there.

This is very similar to my thoughts and experiences. I do much highway driving on 87 and reach between 22-24 mpg's, eben in the winter and I always seem to have the cruise set at 75. I make a 500 mile trip twice a month and this has always been my mileage, no matter if I do 60 or 75.
