I've always run the OEM on advice of the forums. Generally I get 26-27 for my commute which is a mix of freeway and what I'd call "fast city" (40-50 mph but lots of lights). I wonder why the big drop, did something else change? Can you get the mileage back by just going back to the champions? I'd like to know the numbers on those Champions!
