MPG was at 24.5 when I entered hwy
MPG was at 29.7 when I exited 59 miles later

I did hit my brakes a few times and some of the driving was between 65-70mph but at least 90% was at cruise on 75mph. The drive has some gradual hills and descents but is pretty flat overall.
Isnt 87 octane bad for your engine in the long term? Depoit build up, etc.. ?
