I was wondering what type of fuel do you guys put in your car??
<small><small>(i'm hoping you guys don't say 92) stingy fool stingy ;-)</small></small>

 

Chevron's Supreme with Techron... simply smarter!!

I hope you don't call me stingy because I use 92. 92 is the highest we get here in Cali.

I'm stingy when it comes to gas, its not like its fun burning $2 bucks a gallon while sitting on the freeway... Not moving..

(man my old 300zx, i used to put 87 in there, but if there was an option of 70, you could be sure you would find it in my car. ;-))

 

I use SHELL (GOLD) and it is also a 92.

 

According to Acura the engine is rated to use 92 Octane. There was a post not too long ago that had the arguements about what octane to use. You can try to search for it.

I use Sunoco 93 in my car.

 

I use Exxon 93 octane almost exclusively. If I can't find an Exxon, I use Texaco.

Sunoco should be 94 octane rating
I use Exxon most of the time & when I go down to my sisters house in southern Maryland I get whatever cheap high test I can. I got Sunoco 94 at a station down there at $1.69 per gal. Here in DC. the last time I got Sunoco it was $1.84

 

Oh, you meant YOU are stingy.

IMHO, using lower grade gas to save $$ totally defeats our purpose of modd'ing our cars to have better performance and handling. I wouldn't put anything lower than 92 and sacrifice hp. (If there was anything higher, I'd gladly pay the extra $$ and go with whatever is the highest offered.)

 

I use Mobil 93 octane. Is that bad? If it is bad what do u recommend?

 

Trust me, 93 is better than what I'm using (92). Stick w/ what you're using. ...although I do prefer Chevron over any other brands. (Don't ask why.)

 

it seems like you are using a different font.. Roman, instead of arial... how did u do it?

 

I usually use Amoco 93 or Exxon 93. If those two are not available, than the highest of any brand I would find on the road. Only the best for my baby. :

 

I used that special font to make my point. I can tell you but I'll hafta kill ya!


Actually, I have no idea how that happened. *lol*

 

Let me try this...

since HTML is on, we should be able to choose our fonts by using HTML.

<font face="times new roman">Time New Roman</font>
<font face="arial">Arial</font>
<font face="creepy">Creepy</font>
<font face="algerian">Algerian</font>

 

Hmmm... if the font works, how about adding some color to them??

<font color="blue">BLUE</font>
<font color="red">RED</font>
<font color="green">Green</font>
<font color="yellow">Yellow</font>

 

<font face="Times new roman" color="green">Voila.. it works, ladies & gents.</font>

<font face="algerian" color="blue">I didn't mean to show off or anything.</font>

 

Cheveron 92 and a few other 92 octane gases. I tried a lower octane once, but felt bad for mistreating my car and never did that again. You performance and mileage will be affected. If we afforded the car, we can certainly afford to maintain it the way it should be eh?

 

Sunoco has both 93 and 94.

 

hmm.. i`ve been using 87 for the past few days =X is it okay to just start using 92? or is there any kind of flushing or changing of fuel that i should do?

 

I heard that shell vpower is really good. I remember a thread not to long ago saying that ppl can really tell the difference.
