imported_trackhack 30-Mar-2005 10:44 AM

Premium in the Civic, usually Shell as it's conveinient as it's near my house.
Regular to midgrade (brand doesn't matter) in the wagon depending on how I feel on that particular day.

CivicGurl 30-Mar-2005 12:04 PM

Cheap shiat in both vehicles. Mostly Petro Canada or Shell. If the price is cheaper at Sunoco or Esso, I have been known to go there too.

imported_GoldBadge 30-Mar-2005 12:06 PM

Methane. It's a little stinky, but man does it burn like Mofo!

Tikal 30-Mar-2005 04:18 PM

Shell 87

I don't touch Sunoco. I read a few threads on here about people having problems with Sunoco gas.

The G2 Racer 30-Mar-2005 05:14 PM

Anything thing but Esso.
Normally Sunoco.

Tego 30-Mar-2005 05:16 PM

I use nothing but 91 (I think?) Pioneer.

imported_loudsubz 30-Mar-2005 05:34 PM

why do you guys waste money on gas with stock engines, with swaps its diff, I NEED, lets rephrase, NEED 91 for my car to run properly, but a stock civic does not lol

imported_climax 30-Mar-2005 06:08 PM

sunoco 87.. just the regular gas.. or petro sometimes.. because they are close to me.

The G2 Racer 30-Mar-2005 06:10 PM

I'll second that. My hatch was lucky to get 89 once in while.
My Lude needs 91+ (why an '89 needs high octanc eI don't know).

My next hatch will get 87 until things require premium

imported_ERTW 30-Mar-2005 06:13 PM

whoever has the cheap regular gas and happens to be on my way gets my money

people, higher number doesnt equal "better" gas, all it means is that is has additives that make it less prone to preignition... so unless you are running high compression, you are wasting your money

high octane fuel wont even burn completly and cleanly in an engine that is not designed for it as the conditions in the cylinder might not be optimum for its proper burning point.

dingus88 30-Mar-2005 06:41 PM

ok here's some info for the newbs/douches

when you compress air it get's hotter
high compression motors compress the air more (obvious)
gasoline engines run a mix of air and FUEL
so you bring the air charge in and the pisotn is coming up compressing the air

the air is getting hotter and hotter and hotter as it compresses more and more then boom is pre ignites from the heat of the compressed air instead of the arch of the spark plug

high octane fuel is more "stable" and wont' ignite as "easy'" so it won't preignite etc from the compressing of the air in the cylinder that is why you run high octane fuel.

you want to run the lowest octane you can get away with basically

spracingsports 30-Mar-2005 07:56 PM

oh 94.... thats a rare find down here... we only get up to 92 here...

i use chevron or 76 regular 87 (aka george bush stolen gas)

imported_D dot T 30-Mar-2005 08:11 PM

Typically anywhere that has it cheap but I prefer petro cause I get the 0.02 cents off per litre making it even cheaper. Regular gas for my stocky motor.

imported_starboy869 30-Mar-2005 08:20 PM

Last time I check my stock SiR takes 91+

Usually PetroCanada for the points.

Dr.K 30-Mar-2005 10:46 PM

89 or 91 in my stock CX....why? Cause i drive like 7km's to work and when i am on the highway i find i get a touch better mileage. Im also getting a new cat and premium burn's the **** out of your cat. And now its a touch louder.:thumbup: I grab petro or sunoco.

mugenEG2 30-Mar-2005 11:33 PM

i used to use sunoco 94 all the time for my b16. over time, it started to run like ****. i found out they add alcohol to increase the octane rating or something. i switched down to 91 like my manual recommends and i get much better performance surprisingly.

imported_t_dot_SiR 30-Mar-2005 11:35 PM

89 @ esso....

by the way, are esso points better or the petro points? my sister uses sunoccco cause she uses her CAA card...

Etenol (sp?) is added actually.

T-Shirt Ninja 31-Mar-2005 01:18 AM

Ethanol.

I used to run 89 octane, dunno why really, must've been habit, my dad filled my car up with 87 runs fine, looks like I'll stick with that now and save my 5-7 cents per liter.

alvear_11 31-Mar-2005 11:34 PM

nothing but the best!!! SUNOCO 94!!! u have to baby ur car man!
