I got worse gas mileage using regular vs premium.

It cost $2.2x more to fill our cars up w/premium over regular.

stop being cheap or sell yoru GSR.

Well if you dont use vtec and drive like a granny, then sell the gsr and get an ls. Then you can use regular 87 octane gas.

You put regular 87 octane in your engine it will retard your timing and give you less power and horrible mileage.
You complain about 2.2x/gallon prices. Hehe, here in california it has been 3.3x+ lately. Look at the difference between the regular to premium. Maybe .20/gallon right. 12gallon tank x .20/gallon= $2.40/tank

Is it really worth the decrease in performance and gas mileage?

oh no im a cheap ***. I cant put 93 in my car because I wanna buy a pop later on.omfg is you motor modified ?. Is your car stock ?. Do you have time for a motor swap in about 6months. Well I know you dont have the money for the motor swap because you cant afford to spend an extra freakin 20cents for a gallon of freakin 93 octance gasoline. What does your gauge cluster say. Mine say use "preminum unleaded gasoline fuel. Well unless you tore yours off I guess I know why you would be asking this.

Well I think you should pop your gas cover, it also says use preminum unleaded gasoline fuel also.

So your car is telling you not to be a cheap *** because george retarded gay *** bush will be out of office as of 2008.

omg there is now two threads of this ****.

Another little known fact-Gas Stations are allowed up to a 3.5% variance in octaine levels. That 87 your pumping might be closer to 83.

care to shed some light on how any other president could have any different effect on fuel prices whatsoever? It's $5-$6/gallon in Europe and Japan so you should be happy we pay as little as we do. Do you really think gasoline prices are going to drop when the next president takes office?

I just stated that because he said that punk *** george bush made the gas prices go up. I said that they will change because george bush does not know what the hell he is doing to the economy. I mean I live in michigan and are economy is really terrible. All the jobs are going over sea's here.

I mean so what if it costs .20cents more a gallon. It could save you another 5 thousand dollar motor.
