Getting the car this evening

Well I've been a long time truck fan and now I have broke down and moved to a TSX. Did alot of research and reading here and on other links and made the decision. I went with a 05 white 6MT ,and as we speak they are installing the skirt package. I opted to stay away from the spoiler though, personal preference I would rather a lip type. Anyway look forward to hanging around here.

I do have one question. Do you guys run the high-end fuel or regular. The dealership said regular was fine , but all the books and stuff state to use the higher end preminum. Any opinions???

Thanks guys, there's actually a shell station around the corner so that works out. Nothing but the good stuff for this baby.

Shell were having problem with BMW fuel sensor a while back. At least from Canada. So my BMW dealer asked me to avoid Shell. But they always find excuse to try not to warranty my car. I never have problem using Esso 91 or PetroCan 92 on all of my cars.

And congrat for the new TSX and you made a right choice by switching from a truck to a 6sp TSX.

I thought gas from Shell would screw up the fuel gauge on GM cars. Maybe not the premium grade.

btw, congrats!

Mobil and Exxon 93 octane sucks... I was having a ton of problems with my turbo jetta and their gas..... I switched to shell a year ago and haven't looked back. I sometimes hit up Sunaco and Hess....
