Thanks guys..I am going to use regular from now on. I appreciate it and how dumb I am to spend on super gas for the past yrs.

You are getting nothing for any money you spend beyond regular. It does not increase power or mileage. Too low an octane hurts -- too high does not help and, in fact, can actually hurt.

I think that 15 mpg is on the low end of normal for a 735. I get around 17 when commuting in Houston rush hour traffic (about 20% free-moving freeway, 80% stop and go).
