You may be right. And I think your analysis of why the mileage improved is probably correct. When gas cost 30 cents per gallon and premium cost 40, the difference to run premium was a huge percentage. But with regular over $3 and premium 20 cents more per gallon, the percentage is minimal. It wouldn't take much of a mileage increase for you to come out better with premium.

I have heard of other rigs that would run OK on regular, but ran better on premium. In the winter, we have winter formula gas (whatever that means) in my area. My old Ford pickup will run on the winter gas, but will not pull worth a darn--it pings badly under load. If I have heavy work to do with the pickup, I buy premium rather than messing with the timing. It works fine for anything on regular using summer formula gas.

These are interesting times....good luck!
