Bear in mind, you'll likely lose a little mileage due to running winter gas.  Not every engine seems to show a difference, but some do.  Also, if your engine was running hotter before it was burning gas more efficiently.  I suggest running a 195* thermostat.  You may also try running a test.  Run 5 tanks of cheap gas and take down your mileage, then run 5 tanks of quality gas (chevron, etc.) and see if there's a difference.  My 91 2wd got slightly better mileage when I switched over to quality gas, though it took atleast a couple tanks to really start to notice the difference.  And no, I didn't drive any different, I never really do.

You can go through life being scared of the possible, or you can have a little fun and tease the inevitable.

Give a man venison, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to hunt Blacktail, he'll be frustrated for life!
