Well, i made it to San Diego. My last tank was 14.65. Not too bad. I appreciate all the advice. Hopefully mileage will get a little better. At least I wont be driving as much.

That 89 is cheaper because it's blended gas. Kansas law does not require stations to post that information. That could be the reason your mileage dropped.

I couldn't find the original article on KC Stars site but found a copied version on another site here:http://forums.maxima.org/fluids-lubr...e-article.html
