I did--twice. My last tank in the Odyssey used the 100%. It was my best tank since I've been recording data. This is partially because it had more highway trips, but I also was very impressed with the fuel economy on a camping trip. There were four of us and lots of camping gear in the van. I started at about 5,200ft. Went as high as 11,300ft and then back down to 9,000ft. I drove around a few miles and the next day made the return trip. It was all interstate and highway and I had the AC the entire time. I averaged 26.4mpg over 190.3 miles.
My current tank in my Civic is also using the 100%. It has been difficult for me to notice a difference so far in the car.
Thanks for the tip. For now, I will keep trying it if it's not too inconvenient when I need to fill up.
