Do you use the same brand/octane fuel on each fill up? I have gotten better fuel mileage by changing brands in the past.

No, I buy 87 when ever I get low, where ever I am. I try not to pay attention to price on a day to day basis. Statistical speaking it doesn't matter much. Tho, last week I did drive past the station at 3.30. On my way home I saw 3.09. But I would never drive around "looking" for the best price -- that is damn near guaranteed to waste gas and cost more. This week everybody is up to 3.38. Sticker shock next fill up? Who freaking knows.
