Premium vs. Unleaded

Hold on guys, it's not the same old thread!

Just wanted to pass along that the guys on the MDX owners board are now arguing about the merits of using regular in their $45K+ '07 MDX's.

I thought everyone could use a laugh.

Especially since I never more than 2 people in most of the MDX's in my area. This goes for most "big" SUV owners.

It's ridiculous. Many are refusing to believe it's not a conspiracy, or that that computer can't fully compensate, or that they do in fact lose power, etc.

They're all unleaded and have been for over a generation.

yea unfortunately diesel costs a lot here. oh well.

i agree that if they complain about milage, they should get a more fuel efficient car.

coming from two evos the TL is like a prius by comparison.
