I am looking at trying to get better gas mileage thou. It would help if I could keep my foot off the pedal  That said, averaging ~20 mpg, goosing it a bit when I want my cheeks to flatten. Would the 91 give better mpg? From what I have read, it would avg out...more money in the tank but longer on the road?
What about getting a "mpg" tune/chip? No more power, but max mpg? |
Most stock tunes run a bit on the rich side for safety. You can get a chip that leans it out, giving you more power and better MPG. Just switching from 87 to 91/93 is not going to bump the power output up.
