I did manage to get 45mpg coming home from Reno in my MR2. Went 85 in neutral the entire way down the mountain.

Holy hell. I never got worse the 17mpg on e85. And that was the first tank where I smashed the throttle everywhere. (Not counting on track lol)

Not sure where you live where it’s only 0.20 difference between premium and 87. It’s between 0.60 to 0.80 per gallon difference where I live.

Do you have any data from your experiment besides the car didn't die while you still had it? Like timing, MPG, knock correction, etc?
I'm in CA. if there is more then 0.15 between each grade it's a rip off out here. That's crazy it jumps so high
