I change my oil every 3 months regardless of miles driven and never let my fuel tank drop below 1/4 of a tank. I fill with plain old regular. I`m getting 27 miles to the gallon in the city in my 10 year old Honda. I`ll fill with Ultimate from BP Amoco or the Sunoco Ultra 96 when I go on the highway (once a month) and open it up for a sustained amount time. Maybe it`ll help keep things clean. Doesn`t hurt and the difference is less than $2.00 more than regular in my little gas tank. (only cost $16.20 to top it off with 6 gallons of regular today!)
