Extreme adds some pressure but it's hard to find out how much. Diablo claims it's safe. I think it's fine to use Ext. all the time (watch the egt) but it's hard to drive in town without some smoke. My driving is inconsistant but I think my mpg is best on Extreme, too. Craig

I drive around in Extreme or Extreme RKL all the time. It won't hurt anything except maybe your fuel mileage.....
