Also, I found a slight MPG improvement after I paid $79 for alignment. I had never done it in 80,000 miles, and was told it was out of whack.

Also, I get less impact on MPG with premium gas like 89 or 91 octane. In fact, the $0.30 extra cost of premium gas pays for itself with 15% better MPG, during winter gas months. Summer is not so sensitive.

For me 91 is 13¢ more per L, so it works out to more than $5 a tank. NOT worth it.
