Years ago, when gas was cheaper, I did a MPG test on my car with plus and premium gas. At 10 cents a gallon more expensive, I was getting about 10% better gas milage (22 rather than 20). When gas was a buck, it was about break even. Now that gas approaching 4 bucks, a dime or even a quarter to get plus and 20-30 cents more for premium starts making sense. As little as 3% cost to get 10% better mileage. Has anyone else noticed a improvement with modern blends above regular?
