Premium Gas or Mid Grade??

possible but I know both my 2013 Accord V6 and my Pilot that it replaced both seemed smoother with 91 in the tank than anything else. Pilot also went into and out of cylinder deactivation better with 91 as well couldn't feel it at all with 91 but with 87 it would feel shaky (don't know about the accord as I have never "felt" it deactivate cylinders regardless of the fuel, the pilot had a light to let you know it was doing it.)
 
Well I haven't found a better thread to post this in so if there is sorry mods.

Drove 250 miles this weekend home on GetGo 93, and had a really tough time breaking 31mpg (car) at 72mph. Calculated hand was 29.1mpg. Filled up with Marathon 93 on the way back and hit 35.0 (car) supposedly.

Any other Western Pennslvanians have issues with Getgo Gas? I'm filling up at Marathon and Shell from now on. $2.19 for regular at Shell today!
 
Changes in altitude/hills could also play a factor in your mileage. I can't imagine the additives in the gas would make that much of a difference in mpg.
honda promotes top tier gas, and shell is on that list though -

I was shocked too- I always get better mileage to Pittsburgh though. The difference in elevation b/w the two cities is 50 feet or so. I'm using TopTier from now on anyway since there's a Shell next to my house (I have Shell, Country Fair/Citgo, Crosby's, Delta Sonic, GetGo, Marathon, and KwikFill).

GetGo says their gas is high quality but who knows now. https://www.get-go.com/FAQs/FuelFAQs.aspx

I'll experiment again in 3 weeks with mileage when I head back!
