[QUOTE="Louisiana_CRX, post: 5642901, member: 570083"] My Saleen requires 91 octane with the mods...I usually run 89 octane gas in it...because the rating is min 89 ...I've noticed I get about 2-3mpg better gas mileage running the 89 over the 93 ...I was curious if anyone else has noticed less mpg running the higher octane gas as well [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif[/IMG]...I don't run the 87 because I've been told it could damage the motor...I'm not sure how...it might would get even better mpg...who knows...lol Another trick I was told and it seems to help MPG is turning the traction control off....It auto. comes on everytime you crank the vehicle so it has to be manually turned off...I do leave it on when the roads are wet or curvey...I was also curious on any insight to this....as well I can do all sorts of wiring but I only know basics about car performance and features...so any information on this would be appreciated...Thanks [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
