Look what I got / did!

I got the gas from a Conoco/Phillips 66, and put in 88 octane, No Ethanol.

I'm wondering if the computer knows what kind of gas is being used???, sounds like a really weird question but everytime I would fill up it would only say about 430-450.....about 2weeks ago I got 570!? And when the tank actually finished I got about 555! And this was half hypermilling, and half driving a little more aggressive

I've cracked well into the 500+ range on road trips where I'm running 60 or under (non interstate). I've had the DIC showing 38+ on those trips(flat roads), but that is without A/C and once you hit hills and such, it drops.

Living where I live, it's hard to find flat level roads.
