Gas Preference (Brands)
Did you guys read that soon Honda/Acura will not (soon) honor factory warranties unless you use the specified gases layed out in the warranty? I guess we in the U.S. supplement our gas with 10 percent (menthanol, I think). Honda says that's not what thier engines are designed to perform with, and this will happen in the near future. Anyone know more about this, and which gas stations don't do this? Very curious to know.

They do this in colder weather climates to reduce the amounts of polution produced by the car. They say on the pump itself to give you a warning or notify you that they do add like 10% methanol for a short period of time during the winter.
They do this where I live right now.

On a more serious note, I've been using regular for almost a year and my car runs perfect. The owners manual says anything above 86 is fine, therefore I use regular for cost efficiency.
