I may have mentioned the Type 4 engine in your car. Not sure how much 
impression it made.

Im not running 87 octane anymore, 92 in minimum for my build.  Dave was driving along at the same speeds only had me by about 1 MPG....

Except for construction zones, most of my driving was 65-75, with an 
average of about 70. Even with the AT I expected slightly better mileage, but 
didn't get it. This engine runs perfectly on 87 octane gas. What's your 
compression ratio, Keith?

BTW, I forgot to mention that the weather was perfect for driving our cars: 
temps ranged from 50 to 70, except for the show day, when it got up to 75. I 
never had to worry about overheating and once home I could see no 
measurable drop in the oil level.
