Your car should trigger engine malfunction light under engine misfire conditions and mostly you get P0300 code

I experienced that also - thought I had an intake leak the way it acted. Starts, runs a few seconds, stumbles badly and almost dies before smoothing out to a clean idle - am I right?
I wouldn't have believed it, but my dealer told me to use mid-grade gas instead of premium when temps drop much below 30f, and it works! Can't speak for any difference in mileage, other than the wasted fuel for a necessary warmup since I don't park itin my garage.

My 3.0 automatic typically gets 25 - 27 MPG (US) running at interstate speeds on trips. In town, she gets 20 consistently. She gets her best mileage on 93 Octane, non blended gas.

Bo - my 06 doesn't have a trip computer. I calc my mileage the old-fashioned way - dividing the miles driven by the gallons of gas needed to fill her back up. I took the car on a business trip to Cleveland, Ohio, and she actually got 27.35 MPG (US) on the leg up. Coming back, I filled up with blended 92 octane gas near Cleveland, and, she got 25 MPG coming back.
