        is it impossible for m20s to get into the high 20/30mpgs?

        my car is an auto with a 4.10 and i got more miles out of the tank using 91 than my e46. With my e30 I got close to 350+ miles out of the tank for $30 (30 bucks gets me a full tank in my e30). My e46xi gets 325 miles if im lucky and costs me $50 bucks a tank. which is odd because both of them are 16.6 gallon fuel tanks,

              91RON=87AKI

              It's the same octane just a different system of measurement. See my above post.

                  i get 28mpg on my e30es with regular.
                  i get 18mpg on my rx8 with premium.

                  my e30 saves me $200/month in gas.
