? about fuel in a gsr
so I have question. probably a stupid one but oh well. I have a pretty much bone stock 95 gsr just the basics exhaust and a port&polish on the head ,and I know that acura suggests running only premuim I take it thats 91 octane. do you guys think that it will hurt or hinder the motor and power of the car running lower grade 87 or 89? I have already disabled the knock and o2 sensors using crome.(had a check engine I could not fix) so what do you guys think. I usually have run 91 or 93 thru it but I have a new job that I drive about 80 miles a day and was wondering if I could save some cash running the el cheapo gas.

Honestly if you do the math of (80 miles per day X 5)=400 miles per work week. You probably get 25+mpg's so your looking at no more then 16 gallons a week. If your only spending $.20 a gallon extra for premium your spending an extra $3.20 a week in gas at the most. Not that big of a deal imo.

I know it's not a huge deal but hey 200+ bucks a year is stil free money, main thing I just want to know does it matter what i use or not. oh I get about 29mpg right now. not to bad for winter I guess probabaly will be 33 or 34 in the summer, I always warm my car up about 10 mins before I leave. now on the other had my wifes gsr only gets about 26 but that things got freakin 310k on it. I am just glad it still runs as good as it does.
