Rich what octane rating are you running? In Canada we have 87 89 and 91 and I use the 87 in both my V10 and my 02 Accord. I have been told that if your vehicle is set up from the factory for regular 87 octane, as both my vehicles are, then you are just wasting money to go to a higher octane. That is incredible mileage for a gas engine by the way, and way better than I get but I am sure the 4x4 is costing me at least a 1 MPG loss and maybe more. I am 50 miles away from 12000 miles so I hope to see the jump you saw. I know at 150 hours I got a big jump in power as did a lot of guys I used to talk to over on the V10 Forum. Don't care for one of the moderators there and have quit posting.
