kach22i~ I'd be willing to bet you will find that you are getting LESS gas mileage than before. The fact you are enjoying the "extra" power means you are probably getting on the go pedal harder, thus using more fuel [nothing wrong with using more fuel, as long as you are enjoying it]. You may inadvertently have given your car an "italian tune-up", and are now driving it the way these cars are supposed to be driven [a bit on the hard side] and have actually done your engine good by cleaning out some crud. If you are driving these cars for the gas mileage, you are driving the wrong car.

BTW~ I use the Shell V-Power in my car, because that is the closest gas station to my house.
