I have noticed differences between brands and octanes. My Tercel did best with Gulf 93 octane, ~44MPG combined. Using 89 octane it would be about 39. Also, Shell didn't go over well with my 4 cylinders, but ran well in my LHS. I got about 28 combined in the LHS using Shell Ultra (Vermont station, at that time NO ethanol!) Around here, Gulf seems to do the best. We do not have Chevron ( :(...I like Techron, too...) or Amoco.

We now have that Chevron ethanol notification here in Western BC. At least it will soak up the moisture in our gas tanks. Glad our 2.7 Sebring, 3.3 Concorde & 3.5 300M get better mileage than the PT cruiser. |
