Not in my case. Having to buy premium gas for my cars I save anywhere from $0.20-$.30/gallon over the ripoff gas stations around here, and the Costco is on our commute, so none of us even go out of our way to stop there. In fact, it’s even more convenient than the closest WaWa or other gas

On an equally sized engine a turbo will increase efficiency something like 30% and result in better mileage. Same for an intercooler. Look at the 617 equipped 300D, the pre-turbo ones tend to average around 24mpg, turbo models are more like 26 while having more power... -Curt On Saturday,
