24 is really good for me, 22.5 is normal.

once i got 289

and higher octane results in mileage nearing 19mpg....i actually ran the tank dry under 200 miles with 93 octane. This **** is terrible on small engines.

does that fuel injector cleaner stuff actually work, I thought it would be a good idea, but thought it was probably :bs: , anyways they shouldn't have been able to rev it to hell with the stock rev limiter in place

My mpg increases when I used it. Now of course you don't want to use it every week, use it about every oil change or the cleaner will wear out your fuel lines quicker.
