Poor mileage S90-V90 1998

Dan:
What sort of mileage did you get on regular and on premium?
I have noticed that as gas prices go up, the differenial between regular and premium remains about the same. About 20 cents a gallon or about 7%.
If I got 7% better mileage, say 19 to 20.5 mpg or so it would be a wash.

Since I only have cold at 20F today I do not have extreme cold, and no cold start problems, that is not an issue.

I use premium while towing my trailer, only 1000 pounds but tall with wind resistance, I get 17 to 19 MPG. Always 300+ mile trips, some 3000 miles. Usually only in the better weather.

BTW, my S60 2.4T with IPD ECU upgrade, consistently gets better mileage in the same conditions as the S90.
