What gas to use?

[rubix777]

premium here is $2.35/gal

I run about 380 miles per tank with an h23a

Also I try to get gas early mornings, or leate evenings because the weather is cooler, so you get more gas.

Your dash AND Gascap should say "Premium Unleaded Fuel Only"

That would be my clue to run teh good stuff. If not, VTEC's will run like shit.

can you put more than 1 of those in to raise it more?

putting more octane would dilute the gasoline more. Note that octane is NOT gasoline.

The density of gasoline changes with temperature(as with all fluids), so with the same philosophy of having cold air enter your intake, putting in 12 gallons of cooler fuel is more than 12 gallons of warmer fuel. If you don't believe me, you can try it out for yourself.

One day get fuel up around 2pm. Note the mileage you get. Next time you need to fuel up get it around 8am. Note the mileage.

Another thing, it's best not to get gas after you see those tankers pulling out because it means the fuel in the storage isn't fully mixed and you might get gas that is diluted.

it's pointless to not put premium... it's an extra like $2 a tank... big deal. an extra $.20 isn't that bad per gallon.
