Shylo,

Thanks - I specified long, flat - should have included empty!  (Texas to
Florida)

Maybe one of you legs was uphill, the other down?

With gas prices and all...

Coming back from NC to MT, I used the mid grade because, honestly, I didn't
have the money to buy premium. Going to NC in Jan., I used premium, and got
anywhere between 28-31 mpg. Coming back, on the mid range stuff, got about
27-29ish. I guess it really wasn't all that big of a loss. Could be because
the car has a little more miles on it, the tires a little more used, etc. 

And I've used just regular synthetic since the day I bought my '91. Have
heard good and bad things with the max-life oils, but some like 'em on the
list. I just haven't made the change from synthetic to dino yet, and still
debating whether or not I want to.
