Stuck with Marathon 87 octane. Fully expect letting the car warmup and defrost on cold mornings to sap mpg. Also aired up tires to recommended pressure.

Wife fuelled up this time. Hope that doesn't hurt MPG and hope she doesn't read notes. Used Marathon 87 octane.

Marathon gas @ 87 octane. Here's mud in yer eye! Significant drop. Winter blend? But we're using the heater and heated seats plus some morning defrosting.

This last tankful was a mix of highway and city driving. Onboard computer still reading 17.5 mpg. Filled up on Marathon 87 octane. Seem to have better results than BP and Road Ranger brands.

Fuelled up just a little early. Went to Road Ranger this time. 89 octane but not sure what brand On board computer still showing 17.5 mpg. Not sure why we're not seeing the actual mpg a little closer.

Stuck with the Marathon, 87 octane. All city driving. If I can maintain somewhere around 19 mpg and above, I'll be happy. Onboard computer still showing about 17.5 mpg average. Very please with outcome. Over 20 mpg in town with this car plus a turbo. I'll take these results.

Filled up with Marathon 87 octane. Filled as soon as the low fuel light came on. Disappointed that I need over 13 gallons, but pleasantly surprised by the numbers. Pt onboard avg mpg shows 17.6.
