I can't speak to the 2.3t engine, but I can speak to the 2.3T. I recently took a trip after filling up with 93 octane at Mobil. Normally I get 30-32 MPG on the same Mobil gas, but this time around I was only getting 28. Conclusions:
1) Mobil ripped me off and sold me regular 87 octane gas.
2) Regular 87 octane leads to substantially lower gas mileage in the 2.3T. As soon as I had to refill the tank again, my gas mileage improved substantially.
