Hi Everyone,

Bought my first Acura last friday. So far, no issues. It's not anything I've driven before. Previously, I've owned 5 Toyota cars. Therefore, it would not be fair to compare this car with any of those vehicles.

So far, my car is being run on premium gas, as recommended by Acura Canada. Is there any consequences for using lower grade fuel?

^^^ The consequences are that you'll probably lose horsepower all along the power band as the engine adjusts the timing for the lower octane fuel. Lower HP will mean you need to press on the gas pedal harder to get the same thing done. That means you'll use more gas. If your goal is to save money it will fail. You won't save anything and may even shorten the life of some engine components if you push the engine hard often.
