i like how alot of people dont even read their owners manual... not saying people posting in this thread dont im just saying in general.. but ya i was supprised when i read that my d15b2 took 91 octane or higher. so iv been using 91 ever since. may be a ****ty engine but id rather use the recommended octane level. oh and another thing the manual says is to put the car in 1st gear before you shift to reverse.. i love it when people post about reverse grinds ...

allow me to demonstrate.
{200 * [(1.05)^41 - 1] / 0.05} - 200 = $25367.95
that is all, carry on

Isn't gas dictated by how much compression ratio your car has? Using premium gas on a car with a small engine like a D16Z6 won't make much difference because the engine doesn't warrant high octane.
Higher octane - For higher compression engines.
Lower octane - For regular engines that are not high hp.

$200 devided by 365 days in a year is only $0.55 a day more that you would spend on premium gas.
How about cigarettes, $9 a pack, a pack a day, thats $63 a week or $252 a month just to kill yourself a little bit. Or $3276 a year.
Beer maybe? $35 a case, a case a week thats $140 a month just to have a few beers everyday.
Now imagine what you would spend on beer and smokes over 40 years.
Life is filled with expenses, get used to it. You gotta pay to play.
