Switching to Premium does not appear to be having an impact on mileage. May need to fix odometer to get more refined mpg figures in order to see a difference.

Going to need to drive it more to see if there is an improvement by running premium. (Last month it was new struts, now it is new rotors).

going to try a tank or two of premium and see if it helps the fuel economy. Recent dips may be due to open-window driving. A/C needs repair.

Need a tune-up, I think. I hope it is not a leaking injector, that would suck.

Still no speedo cable. Ran some injector cleaner + tried a bit of the "italian tune-up" method. Will try to be a bit more sane this time.
