anybody drive an si, gsr, that runs 87? I've read multiple things but as far as i can tell (from what i've read) if your not vtecking the shit out of it shifting at 8k then you can run reg gas. opinions?

the ecu won't let you hurt that engine by running lower octane. it will just retard the timing when it detects knock. expect a check engine light, though, but is easy to get rid of when you run 93 in it again by going to the fuse box in the engine bay. you will see a 7.5a back-up fuse. pull it for 30 sec., then re-install.

9/1/2005 4:53:39 PM

it will only save you a dollar though
keep that in mind

the higher these prices get, the more cost effective premium is

which makes it even more sweet that my car runs regular and so does my beater

even cooler that the new mustang GT's run regular too and they make 300hp

i heard that chevron ran out of 87 and 89, so they're selling nothing but 93 in those pumps

sounds like bullshit to me though

9/2/2005 11:35:26 AM

I saw several stations that ran out of 87

9/2/2005 11:47:38 AM

i ran 89 when i had my gsr....

9/2/2005 12:04:39 PM

take the timing back a bit. and dont run it to the ground

9/2/2005 1:28:02 PM

why would you want to though

9/2/2005 4:23:29 PM

ive been running race gas mainly, 110 octane leaded. runs good

don't be gay trying to save 2 bucks, just run what the car requires

running less octane than your car requires makes baby jesus cry

My car requires premium, and with a 1992 era CPU and 250k miles I'm not gonna chance it.

running 87 cost me 5mpg, but no real performance loss
