I have a 2000 S2k, with 83,000 miles on it, i will have the car for another 5 years while im going through school, and plan to keep it as long as it runs after that.

I have a brother that has an accord with 450,000 miles on it and he runs premium fuel.... so can you give me some insights, thanks

 

if im not mistaken, its recommended that you ONLY use premium.. it makes sense since the s2k has pretty high comp

 

lol your supposed to only run premium

 

OMG ROFLCOPTER

this thread is going to be priceless

 

i thought we take E85?

 

yes e85 is perfect...after all the S is a flex fuel vehicle

 

Please tell me the OP is joking?

 

My question is... What were you running before? 85? 87?

But anyways, luckily the computer is smart enough and has a good knock sensor to back off timing.

 

lol... i dont think your s2k will see 450k miles on 87 octane.

 

The s2k has a knock sensor and will advance or retard timing. If you use something lower than whats recomended your car will be fine the knck sensor will catch any detonation and the ecu will correct everything. So you can run a lower octaine gas and everything will be ok. But if you run a lower octaine then whats recomended you will not get 240hp out of your motor. Honda only recomndeds 91 so you get the full 240hp its tuned for.

I use 93 cause thats the highest I can get.

plus you get better mpg with a higher octaine gas so it basicly evens out the price and the miles you drive. So why be a fucckin [pejorative]got and use anytihng lower than whats recomended????

 

lol i dont think the knock sensor is good enough for the higher up RPM's

 

The sign on the gas door that says "Premium Unleaded Fuel Only"......................................... Yeah, ignore that.

 

^--- WHAT? I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE PREVIOUS OWNER PLAYING A JOKE ON ME!

awsome. it only says 'premium fuel only' like 3 times on your car
all dohc vtec motors are premium only

 

oooh it does say premium fuel only, why in the hell did i never notice that before, does it matter if i ran like 2,500 miles on regular unleaded?

well, you can't do anything about it now. lol. were you at redline a lot? or at all? lol...

the car should have done all it could to protect itself. hopefully u are ok. car should seem a lot more powerful when you use premium now compared to what you were used to. lol

 

do i have anything to worry about since i ran it on unleaded for about 7 months? its a 2000.... im assuming the old owner ran premium
