What kinda gasoline you take?

I still use the old method I learned from my father who learned it from his....
About every 4th tankfull I will go the Super and add a bottle of injector cleaner. I average 21 to 23 MPG with my VX, which is way above normal for city/highway driving. I just completed a 405 mile round trip to Brookline, MA from my house in Mt. Tabor, VT and I still had about 3 gallons in the tank when I refueled. Maybe I just got lucky with my 3.5

PS....RitchieDon,
It takes a big man to admit when he is wrong and an even bigger man who makes it right.
My hat is in your corner...the rating system(although sometimes funny, it can also hurt)should not be used to "castrate" someone for their opinions or statements. If facts are wrong they should be PMed first to set the record straight.
THAT'S MY 2 CENTS

Thanks for your support John. I am only trying to get things right. I was out of line and I certaintly don't want to put bad information out to those who are in the same situation I was in when I oringinally came to this site looking for information on my VX. Wyrrej suggests that I am trying to blackmail the members? I'm just trying to admit that I spoke without knowing what I was talking about. High octatane fuel was needed in the old days when the pavement pounders that I was used to needed it. Things have changed with the computerized ehnanced engines.

I don't know ritchiedons past on the board but i think it may be a little wrong that people are giving him any kind of flack for stating an opinion that as far as he knew at the time was true... I have heard ten million DIFFERENT "facts" about fuel grade. i don't think he did anything out of line at all, and it dissapoints me that the VX family would so quickly condemn someone for such a petty thing. of course i may not understand the situation at it's core.

just my 2 cents.
