Rod,
89 pump octane is 95 research octane. Unless you've modified the
engine, the extra octane number is not helping. It isn't hurting, either.
I got 50 mpg at 75 mph on a return trip from Indianapolis. Mine has
4500 miles on it, now. I made the 460 miles in 8 hours with gas stops
and lunch included. I wouldn't want to do that several days in a row,
but my RS made a good tourer for a single day.
