    Seriously though, the multiple times I've experimented with higher octane I got worse fuel economy.

    I don't really see enough of a difference to warrant the cost.

    I even tried some ethanol free 92 and city driving did not seem to make a difference. On the hwy yes.

    Where I live, E10 is pretty much all you can find...and trust me, I've looked.

    I generally put 89/91 (mid-grade) in mine. It doesn't cost much more, the engine seems *happier* and I do notice a slight increase in MPG (1-2 MGP per tank) when using it.

    I get better mileage on the interstate with ethanol free premium.

    About the same in the city regardless of premium or regular.

    I bet that saves at least 50 lbs of weight for the truck to push around?
