RS-GS & GT-GTS

ok the RS and GS recommends regular gas.
the GT and GTS recommends premium gas.

my point is do u really have to use Premium gas on the Gt & GTS?
i was bout to get 3000gt until i found out it NEEDS premium.. gas r high nowadays... does any1 wit a GT or GTS actually use premium gas for their car? i found 2 eclipse... $11g GT wit only 27k miles.. a $11 RS wit only about 30k miles. i wanna save money.. so yea... if i dont have to use premium gas i might as well get a GT or GTS right?

Well the difference in the Eclipse RS and GS , compared to a GT or GTS is the engine. A RS and a GS are four cylinders while the GT's are v-6's. A v-6 uses slightly more gas and since its made to run 91 or higher u should put 91 or higher octane. But botu the models, a RS is a 4cylinder eclipse"low grade" with no power windows and locks, while a gs is a lil better with power door locks and windows, and a GT is a V-6 and a GTS is about the best of all since u have the sport package with all the goodies. If ur young and gas money is a problem, get the 4 cylinder rs its much cheaper but the V-6 would be way better since its faster

what the... no power windows or locks.... its year 2001.. ?!?! wtf... cheap ass mitsubishi

yeah its like the low line of eclipse

"a RS is a 4cylinder eclipse"low grade" with no power windows and locks, while a gs is a lil better with power door locks and windows"

i just found out all models have power windows and lock. gon get GS instead or RS whatever is cheaper near my area

i found 1 on yahoo 2001 RS wit power windows and power locks.. best thing bout it is its not CONVERT.. omg i really hate converts. and its pearl white soo yeah.. looks better then just plane white i might also add a good sound system and a good backwing cuzz it down have 1

Thats funny cuz I have a 2001 Eclipse GT and its pearl white with black leather interior, moonroof, Infinity surround with 4disc in dash cd changer and all the goodies.

o yeah and by the way its a 5speed! and I got it in Scottsdale,AZ for 17g's with 44,000 miles on it

soo.. which 1 is a better deal?

a better deal for???

the 1 i posted was only around 24k miles and only 11g and its a good color. yours was 17g's (GT rite?) and it was around 44k miles. which 1 is a better deal? even though if the models r diff

well that all depends on how much money u got to spend and what you want

thinking bout after getting 1 i will put some white 16 or 17 rims if they will fit and then a big spoiler since RS dont have em and a good sound system.. altogether it will cost as much as my sis new 04 corolla S which is 17g's total after tax.

it would be nice if a eclipse can have a hardtop as a convert like the 3000gt's

i got an '03 GT with 10k miles for $15,500

eclipse4utoo do u use premium gas?

yup..u don't have to use premium gas, but it will cause you engine to start knocking and then the ecu will retard the timing and u will lose power.

damm... would there be much of a diff if i get a GT instead of a RS.. as in insurance.. money for gas..

yes your insurance will be different. i dont know how much but you will be paying more for the GT. and since the GT has a V6, it gets less gas mileage than an RS would, so you would use more money for gas.
