87 2 door accord should i use premium midgrade or unleaded to keep it away from shop. i mean if i use premium will that be more healther for my car plz answer im about to get gas in an hr

[njpeter]

and put $5 in a cofee can every time you fill up. I think the manual says it's ok..I only use HT when I'm heading for the emission test rollers

Hmmm, I used mid grade in the winter and as it warmed up and I started to hear slight pinging on heavy throttle on tip in, I'd run premium. But as soon as it got cold again I was back to mid grade.

I always run regular unleaded. It never pings and I'm cheap though. Usuually the only difference in the more expensive gas is it's less likely to preignite. Since our engines are not especially high compression, they don't need premium (unless you have al ot of carbon buildup in the cylinder that raises compression). So try regular and if it pings at high rpm try mid. If that still doesn't work consider moivng up to premium.

Here's some more information if you're curious:

I use 98 octane fuel, I get more KM per tank using it

No, getting higher than required octane doesn't make your car last longer so get regular if your car runs fine on it.

i heard that it should at least be 87

[James]

85? Doesn't the manual say 87+ only? I have never seen 85 at a station before.

[Jerren]

i use 93 oct just because i have enough money...

[Immeraufdemhund]

i use 89. I found it strange that my car get's better gas milage with mid grade than it did with premium.

[87accordlx]

i use regular, no problems
