- Just bought this car, got 22mpg on highway (and some city) using 89 octane.
- AC was on. The next tank was 87 octane and I got 20 on the highway. The
- manual says to use 87 minimum, the fuel door sticker says premium recomended.
- It didn't knock on 87. Haven't tried premium yet.
-
- Is this mileage about normal for this van/engine combo? What does the 2.5
- nonturbo get? The V6? If anyone has this engine, let me know what you think
- about it.

- Thanks,
