no i don't keep track of my MPG. but all i know is i don't get gas often cause my car doesn't drink alot of gas. and as far as the gas lines having their own pumpline and gas gun, yes. at the mobil station down the street from where i live here in florida. this mobil gas station has 3 seperate gas lines at each gas stand. green is the 87 octane normal, blue is the 93 octane super, and red is the 89 octane special. in that order. green 87, blue 93, red 89. and i always use blue, 93 baby!. the 93 octane gas here in florida is about 250 to 264 or so. yeah, it's pricey. when i fill my gas tank up from it being on the halfway mark of the gas meter on the dash. it costs me like 16,50 to 17 dollars. i'm cool with that though. i don't drive around much. just to work and back. relaxed! going about 60 to 65 or 70 MPH at the most. i usually do 60 MPH with my car. like i said b4. i don't speed much. i drive to last baby. besides. why drive my civic Ex if it's not even modded? LOL. don't wanna look like an ass. the ONLY time people look at me when i'm driving (in what looks like some type of admiration) is when it's all clean and waxed to a T!. *bling bling**

NO!. actually theres another mobil gas station the same way. except it's like 20 more miles away. and this one is like 6 minutes away. sunoco is like that too. so is shell station. (some of them) and i think chevron is like that also. oh yeah! HESS is like that also. florida maybe different than where you live my friend. besides. whats the point again why we are talking about this 3 different lines again?...i'm lost.

Tis true... 93 octane will not help your car in ANY way shape or form. It will make it faster though.... because your wallet will weigh less

Because that is the only way a gas station is allowed to use different amount of additives in their fuel. If it is all throught the same pump, the amount of addatives and "cleanliness" of the fuel is tha same regardless of the octane number.
