I'm torn between a GSR and Prelude as a daily driver...

GSR's, from what I hear, have great gas mileage (32ish), but I refuse to pay over KBB for any car. Unfortunately, most of the GSR's I see are way above book.

Preludes on the other hand, seem to go for below book, they look ok too. However, I have no idea what sort of gas mileage these cars get. What octane does the prelude require? What sort of gas mileage should I be expecting in one?

Thanks!

 

all preludes take premium or 91+.


gsr- Manual: 25 mpg / 31 mpg Automatic: : 24 mpg / 31 mpg

prelude 4th gen - Manual: 22 mpg / 26 mpg

those are just ratings. it all depends on how you drive your car. im pretty sure everyone gets different mileage dependin how they drive

 

automatic GSR in the US? lol

 

i guess lol thats waht it said in the stats on edmunds

 

LS2 Goat,

From your username I take it that you have a real car, like a 400hp 6.0L GTO. Good choice!

I've got an '02 Formula 'Bird, and my '01 Prelude makes a great daily driver. Just don't expect it to get great fuel economy. I can get 24 ~ 25 mpg with my Prelude, and my Formula gets 22 ~ 23 mpg. Your choice of daily driver depends on what you want it for. One thing I can say about the Prelude is that the chassis and suspension are awesome! The car drives great, and is a blast in the canyons.

Let me know if you're interested. I've been half heartedly meaning to sell mine, and I see you're in Cali, so am I.

 

not all preludes take 91+ 4th gen S is regular unleaded.
