My last 5 fill-ups have been Exxon Premium @ 93 Octane. It certainly has NOT improved my mpg's but it HAS greatly improved performance.

Ever since I purchased my 'vert 11 months ago, I had been filling up with Regular, 87 Oct. I always experienced a bit of "sluggishness" when shifting from 2nd to 3rd and 3rd to 4th gears and posted on the forum about whether this was "normal". Some said "yes", some stated "no". http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=163658

I can, however, state without a doubt, that 93 Octane has DEFINITELY improved performance and alleviated the "sluggishness" shifting gears. Based on this experience, I'll continue to fill up with 93 Octane.

For those who may be interested, I keep track of my mpg's via this site.
