you should be running 87...the higher octane will do more harm than good on a stock 7

well that really depends on whether or not his car is a turbo. of course if it was turbocharged he wouldn't be getting 24 mpg on it....ever....

The best mileage I can get is about 22.5 mpg in my TII. That's mainly highway miles going 70 mph.

FAQ!! It'll tell you what to tune up. Often it's the O2 sensor ($40).
N/A's won't knock. Use 87 octane. It'll burn cleaner too.
