From the very first fill since I bought my Golf I used E0 Maverik (not top tier) gas and HF Afe dry air filter.
I keep detailed records of fill ups in G drive since then.
Well over 100 fill ups with this set up and I averaged 45.3 MPG.
January this year I decided to experiment with 87 Sinclair Top Tier gas and OE air filter.
So far I did 4 fill ups and I am averaging only 41.2 MPG.
The E0 cost me on the average about 40¢ per gallon more compare to 87 Sinclair.
So now I am faced with decision. Keep running Top Tier (which is prolly better choice?) and be ok with lower MPG.
Or go back to E0 and Afe dry high flow filter which probably lets more dirt thru but getting about 4MPG more?
What would you do?
Thanks.
