[Shotimes] Poor mileage

[Juillerat, Aaron J]

Drive like you normally would that is best.  The computer will adjust to
the optimum performance of the parameters it's faced with.  Meaning your
car was use to how you drive with premium, then all the sudden you
dropped to regular and thus changing a parameter so it needs to learn
what to do with the lower octane.  You may even want to pull a battery
cable off and clear the computer and let it start from scratch.

Is that for the first few tanks, or do I always need to floor it?   
I'm usually easier on the gas than not.
