so i decided to put premium in the car, since it does say "premium unleaded gasoline only"...for $1.42/gal.

you actually can feel the difference. when vtec engages at around 4500 rpm, you get thrown back into your seat.

just figured i'd share that.

That only really matters with some cars....certainly not all of them.

On a seperate note, one night about 3 or 4 weeks ago, the Exxon I went to was $1.57 for regular, super, and premium...I of course got premium considering that...it was weird. I asked the dude at the counter "All the prices are the same?" and he just laughed.

Hrm m. . maybe I should throw a few gallons in my POS car to see if it can pull some extra power out of its ass. This thing sucks some serious anus on the freeway.. it tops out at 78 mph. . kinda lame eh?

Yah, premium is nice. I find that when I use premium in my car (86 Camaro) I can run it with more timing, and that gives it a bit more power and fuel mileage
