premium or regular?

[Integra4200]

yeah thats what i've heard isnt it called Chevron with Techron or some thing?

[Spectre927]

Thats what I get 99% of the time. Its good. It costs more, but its not that big a deal.

I put 92 or 91 in my 95 GS-R and find that I get the best form it. There is a gas station down the road that has 110 octane!!!!!!! I have been told many times though that putting an octane that high in your car without having alot of mods on it then you will actually lose performace because the car doesnt run well as using a simple 91 octane.

some times if you fogo to a different station it is 87,89,92 and these pumps are overtown though so it is like 1.03, 1.17, 1.27

HOLY SHIT......here in NY its 1.69 for 87 1.8something for 89 and 190something for 91 consider yourselves lucky the gsr's around here get killed with that and its real bad for the soccor moms and there suvs

who is right?

You're wrong Mr. KrNX, its a YEAR and 9 months old, from the original post which is above.

in Vermont i pay 1.56 for 87. and there is practically no wherere that you can get free air. it sucks!

You guy are so cheap. Premium gas will make your engine cleaner, leave less deposit inside engine, run smoother, more milleage per galon, and also give bit up in performance. I live in canada and our gas is more expensive than your and i always had run all my honda`s(86 prelude se, 84 civic 1500s, 89 civic si vtec and my 92gsr-r) with premium and i always notice the difference. The difference for a full tank is maybe 2 dollars!!!

i put 91 on my civic (91 i think is the highest in our area). even if honda recommends 86 or higher, its a cleaner burn with higher octane rating. i used to put 87 then shifted to 91. you do get better gas mileage with higher octane rating and the difference with the 87 and 91 is minimal in price. the better gas maileage of 91 will compensate for the price when compared to 87.
