Ah thank you for the correction.

Realized 23.75 mpg on 87 Arco vs 24.75mpg on 91 Arco. Same route to work all week and this was with mixed city driving 20% and 80% freeway. Not bad.
Now on to "boutique" gas. Shell 87 with nitrogen. Curious to see if it'll improve the mpg or not. I DO notice it's $1.00 per gallon for the same octane.
