One thing that I've noticed with my 04 Arc with 40k on a 2.0T motor is that it's very sensitive to brand. With BP 93 octane, I barely get over 26 (NE Ohio---on the computer). Right now with Sunoco 92 octane, I'm near 28.5 mpg.
But, I've decided to take a small mileage hit and use Shell from now on because it's the only top tier gas sold in the area, and I don't want deposits on my precious Saab's valves. And their V-power even has 5 times the EPA minimum and has enough detergents to clean old deposits off valves. Their other grades have 2.2 times the EPA minimum which prevents deposits, but won't clean old deposits.
