OK, i have had my 01 LS V8 for almost 2 years. When i first got it and i would fill up the tank it would always give we "393 miles to empty".
After a while it went down to about 363 every time i fill her up.
Here's the weird part...I have always used 91 octane, but just recently, since gas prices have been CRAZY, i decided to save myself a few bucks. I have been filling up with 87 and 89 for a couple weeks.
Today it told me i had "406 miles to empty"!!!....IT HAS NEVER HIT 400!!!!
The best part is i didnt even fill her up...i just paid $40 since i had the cash on me. I'm sure it was almost full but a little more would have fit, I'm sure.
How is this possible? I'm not complaining...I just think it's weird.....
Don't we get better gas milege from 91 octane?
OK, also this morning i gave her an oil change...first time i use Motorcraft for both oil and filter. Could this have anything to do with it? Or just coincidence?
