Gas fill up.

[Accordexcpe95]

since the gas price is been going up. who here still putting premium gas in their EP???


kinda glad i am not boosted anymore because now i can rock with the 87 octane. :mredface:

[Civicsiguy]

not meh at all

[weltall]

i get 100 miles for half a tank

i still put 93 in and a bottle of turner labs octane booster


but thats mileage with me beating on it once a trip

[EggShellSi]

nope, i still rock the regular... no boost...:mfrown:

[dobbs02si]

Damn turbo cars..still rockin premium here

[ep_hatcher_510]

Been using 87 and will always use 87

[Karma]

regular 87 octane @ $3.51 :pout:

still better than whatever premium is.

[boliviasi]

man i don't drive the ep anymore i ride my bike rain or shine

[Accordexcpe95]

yea i sitll remember the day u were shivering cuz it's so fucking cold

[Distance]

premium is close to 4 bucks for me, so i've just started pumping 87

[mastapogi]

it took me $43 to fill up. :(

[supercivician]

with the gas price going up and im putting in my turbo, i have to use 93

[Emerica459]

Stock requires regular, so she gets regular:mbiggrin:

[supercivician]

sometime i still wish i have my gixxer. that thing gets 50 miles per gallon

[4angrybadgers]

JRSC tuned on a 3.8" pulley here, so I kinda need 93 octane if I want to keep my engine in one piece. :mbiggrin: I've just become very very anal about maximizing my gas mileage around town, and so far it's worked (27+ mpg on my daily commute).

[b.r.i.a.n.]

i'm pumping 93 :mfrown:. it's about 3.80 in my area. i'm starting to wonder whether it'd be worth getting the car tuned to run on e85. it's not as efficient but e85 prices aren't rising as quick as gas prices. last time i checked, e85 was about 2.99 but there's only one station in my area that carries it.

[2004ep3hatch]

3.80- 3.90 a gallon for me. its getting higher. at least im not running desiel. It's 4.50 a gallon here

[earliozz]

i always rock the 87 octane. over here in So-Cal it's close to $3.80 for regular...

[dbnow88]

yeah I still fill up with 93. it's around 3.65 here. fill ups are getting dangerously close to $40 instead of the 29-32 they used to be

[somejaykid]

regular for the ep premium on the eg

[PuMpKiN_Ep3]

Stock requires regular, so she gets regular:mbiggrin:


not for me.. stock and my baby gets spoiled with Supreme... :mwink::
Chevron always...

[V-TEC]

I put V-Power fuel in my CTR which is 99RON. It costs over £50 to fill it up from empty (or $100!).

Us UK members would kill to get fuel as cheap as you across the pond.

[56chevydan]

If you're running a stock engine in your ep3 your owner's manual will tell you what fuel is required to run in it.
Burning any higher octane fuel than what is called for is a waste of money.

[bigred]

Here on Maui its now at 4.19 a gallon for regular...i still give my baby premium though...$50 to fill. :mcry: Expected to see 5 bucks for regular by end of summer they say. :faint2:

[az-epdrvr]

here in AZ its only $3.69 a gallon not bad yet :wave: for prem

[dmon]

i used to put 93 octane. but my cars stock with only intake. after the prices came up, i started using regular. and wow i thought gas in hawaii was expensive. its around 3.90 or 3.86 for super.

[zzfinaldropzz]

costed me $43 to fill up today. I use premium only which was $3.97 @ shell.. V-Power!!!!! Hence the V's. You'll get a stronger V-Tec when your pumping V-Power.

[Tnhatch03]

93 user here. i have to.

[fungkeyfresh]

no need for me to put anything highter than 87.. so 87 it is

[riceboy075]

jrsc so i gotta use the 93. its 3.95 here in central cali

[talonXracer]

Yeah it is becoming discouraging to fill the tank with 93,,,,,,But you should have to pay to fill the tanks of a full size Silverado, THAT HURTS !

[the JigGa mAn]

I put V-Power fuel in my CTR which is 99RON. It costs over £50 to fill it up from empty (or $100!).

Us UK members would kill to get fuel as cheap as you across the pond.

ship me your car, and ill ship you cheaper fuel :)

[mannyboy23]

i put 89 its only 3.50 over here which comes out to 37 bucks from empty ever week

[humpmasterflex]

Man regular 87 octane is 3.67 up here in CT.... I went down to the AC meet and the 93 gas was 3.40 in new jersey... I WAS LIKE WTF!

[Sub]

I have always used 93, in every car i drove.

[earliozz]

i think im getting a fricken bike...f**k gas prices nowadays..

[ep3 604]

regular 87 for me

[MidnightRacer59]

seeing as how i'm running pretty much a stock set up on the stock ecu set up, I'm running 87

[dtt02278]

i stopped using premium when the gas prices reached $3.00... without a job its hard... now that its close to $4.00.. im riding my bike more....

[Ep3T0n3y]

I use 89. But i never put in more than half a tank. To get better gas milage haha.

Less gas = more milage.



WTF IS THIS FACE? :dance:

[Ep3T0n3y]

i stopped using premium when the gas prices reached $3.00... without a job its hard... now that its close to $4.00.. im riding my bike more....

CLOSE to $4???
where in so cal are you?

Its been more than $4 a gal for 89 for over 2 months in LA.

[NitroBoarder]

I don't look at the pump anymore. I turn my back b/c I wanna cry when it doesn't reach 1 gal. until $3.62 (93). But that's only when I fill up at BP, their regular and plus is overpriced, but their premium is always cheaper then anywhere else. If I fill up anywhere else, it's 87.

[02_epdriver]

I have been gas lately for 3.29 down the street from my house but everywhere else is 3.45 for reg gas

[mario543k20]

thank god i got rid of my jrsc!! 87 octane FTMFW!!! and it still costs my $43 to fil up!! wtf, i cant imagine owning a hummer!!!....

[thisisagame24]

i just paid 3.95/ gallon with 93 octaine :mcry:

[SP33D FREAK]

I run 91 Octane here in Cali.... have to... the best mileage i got from it was not hitting any vtec and cruising in 6th gear... I got 357 miles on a tank of gas! Hell ya.

[TurboTypeRManda]

You guys are lucky, it costs me £50 pounds to fill up, thats about $100 dollars.
Our basic fuel is 97 ron, but its still ridiculous :(

[shanewdude]

$4.54 per gallon here! ($1.20 / litre). Yep, the old bike is gettin' rebuilt for around town! (pedal bike, that is)

[phil4400]

i worked out there, your fuel is 50p (uk) which is $1 a litre over there, our prices for octane is £1.17 per litre which is working out over $2 a litre, if only i had your fuel costs!£45 to fill over in USA would be $110 thats madness!!:mcry:

[Godhand]

Filled up yesterday at the Kangaroo @ $3.27/ for 87 octane.

[oldschoolimport]

3.80- 3.90 a gallon for me. its getting higher. at least im not running desiel. It's 4.50 a gallon here

I had to make a 10 hour round trip to pick up a supra for a buddy, and the f-350 burned $188 worth of diesel by the time I got home. :mfrown: the best price was 3.99, the worst was 4.39.

[hondave]

sure enuf i always ran high octane.im a sworn believer that high octane burns cleaner in return prolonging the life of atleast sparkplugs if not beneficial in other ways.but.....the gas prices have indeed caused me to lower my octane rating.

[TurboTypeRManda]

[Phildonis]

welcome s2k 6spd! and right when $ are jumping.
excellent...
Post #2... i hope they let me sell stuff on the FS...

[HappiChild]

$ 36 to fill up at 11.2 gal

[sleepingblacksi]

like 50$ on 94 octane

[SPAM&RICE]

How did I switch to 87 and run out of gas with no change in running on E. called AAA and paid the 7 bucks required, he hooked it up/w 3gallons, he'll be seeing more of me soon I tell you that, $4 a gallon:mmad:

[R3GUL8OR]

still runnin the 91 octane up here at Malmstrom AFB Montana.............we are sitting at $3,83 as of Friday, don't want to know what the hell it's at right now. Especially since I'm PCS-ing back to Denver next week and I have to rent a U-Haul. ugggghhh

[speedking604]

i fill up my car with 94 octane from chevron. it's 1.35 per litre.

[SyckSiR]

1.38/L for 94 here....so thats what, 5.52/Gallon. yea, u guys have it sooo rough....roflmao

[epshtielsl]

I use 93 oct. because I get better gas milage with it so it actually comes out to be cheaper than using 87. It's only like $0.20 more per gallon anyways...that's like what? two bucks more per fill up. Not that big of a deal.

[CastorTroy2]

about $38 for a full tank of 93 octane, and i get about 280-300 miles for a full tank if im driving conservatively

[black_mamba]

87 octane for and half a tank every fill up:mcool:

[Yo_KyleEP3]

Sunny Deygo..

[boyurlazy]

[27rocks]

I use regular with my own special formula...

[phil4400]

[PuMpKiN_Ep3]

[CajunSi]

I have always used 87 and still do. I also have a 07 Tahoe to fill so that is the one that kills me.

[benkieboy]

87 is the cheapest! heck if there was something cheaper, i'd go for it!

[SPAM&RICE]

costed me $43 to fill up today. I use premium only which was $3.97 @ shell.. V-Power!!!!! Hence the V's. You'll get a stronger V-Tec when your pumping V-Power.

holly shi your avatar is in alysian park by the diamond,cool I smoke up there all the time and at griffith park also. your like 5 mins away.:mwink:

[02nhbpep3]

$3.76 premium here, and im getting realll close to $50 to fill up every week, and my suv runs on 87 and it's $95 to fill that bitch up

[robhep3]

I'm running the High Octane A3 Kpro tune, getting 31.5 mpg to and from work. I'm still using 93. It hasn't gotten to the point of diminished returns/dollar for me yet, I guess.

[boyurlazy]

On premium w/ del sol turbo, now 87 w/ ep3, so happy that is is much lower than 93

[kwiksi]

I gotta put 93 due to the K20A2 swap...srry but I don't envy you A3 guys. Well worth it.

[SyckSiR]

I gotta put 93 due to the K20A2 swap...srry but I don't envy you A3 guys. Well worth it.

k20a2 does not require premium fuel. lol, u guys whine too much, over 5 a gallon here.

[ProfessorM]

word. its not that much more expensive for the good stuff and i can look like a pompous ass standing there with the gold pump in my hand. :mullet:

[SyckSiR]

word. its not that much more expensive for the good stuff and i can look like a pompous ass standing there with the gold pump in my hand. :mullet:

yea, thats a good point...tho its about 50 cents more per gallon up here for 94, ppl can say that using anything above 87 is a waste but i've had quite a few vehicles and they always start better and run better when high quality gas is used.

[ep3dan]

i was using premium but switched to 87 when it reached $3.50+. i put 25 dollars in the ep and i just barely made it over half. does anyone know why gas prices are going up?

[profresh]

because crude oil prices are going up which makes gas prices go up.

[oldschoolimport]

because crude oil prices are going up which makes gas prices go up.

and because OPEC cuts production with every reduction in demand, creating an artificial dip in supply, so they have a reason to increase the price. its times like this that I want to hang the tree huggers that have prevented us from drilling for our own oil. :mmad:

[talonXracer]

It wouldnt have anything to do with the oil companys shutting down refineries..............Another artifical manipulation of the supply of fuel.

[v1c10us]

because crude oil prices are going up which makes gas prices go up.

Cept they manipulate it..
They harvest a barrel of oil that costs 101 dollars.
Meanwhile the gasoline we are using is from barrels 2 months ago, yet they up the price right then and there.
It takes 2 months for a barrel of crude to become gasoline at your pump.
so you're paying for 2 months of cheaper oil at the current price.
its fucked, they just want our money.

[oldschoolimport]

It wouldnt have anything to do with the oil companys shutting down refineries..............Another artifical manipulation of the supply of fuel.

thats part of the equation also. I was told by a local that his nephew is working construction for 1, but there are 3 new refineries currently being built. the ones closed are still from storm damage, or are "under-going repairs", but yes, that is a bottle neck in the supply cycle.

[profresh]

i agree i wish we can just drill here in the U.S. so we dont have to rely on other places. gas would be way cheaper that way.

[grindin gears]

well i havnt filled the ep3 up in a while its been sitting in the garage but my jeep costs $90 a week!! i drive to much

[grindin gears]

if i do put gas in only fill half way up. makes me feel like in spending less.

[hyjnx]

i run primiumn only on the friday i get paid then it just sits usually runs out next time i get paid. i love having a work truck :)....its comcastic!

[shanewdude]

i agree i wish we can just drill here in the U.S. so we dont have to rely on other places. gas would be way cheaper that way.

Imagine though, if a country could get themselves completely off of their dependency on oil. They would be the next big super-power. I have a link to a 22 minute video from an economist who wrote a book about it, if anyone wants I'll find it and post it.

[ALL MotoR Ep3]

i put 93 only......cost like $45 to fill up

[lil_Eggy]

i've never used premium...always regular (87)

[az-epdrvr]

48 bucks fills my ep of prem here in AZ

[wh03lse]

im only 21 but i remember when gas use to be under 2 bucks big time... when 2 dollars came about i remember everyone freaking out like the end of the world was coming...

[oldschoolimport]

im only 21 but i remember when gas use to be under 2 bucks big time... when 2 dollars came about i remember everyone freaking out like the end of the world was coming...

when I was 14, I could fill up my scooter for 50 cents. I could rub 2 quarters together, and ride all week! :mbiggrin:

[az-epdrvr]

yes , thats oldschool

[oldschoolimport]

yes , thats oldschool
definitely! 20 years ago...:mcry:

[ep16three]

I remember when gas was 98 cents. When I would go into town I would see it for $1.15. I would tell myself I would never pay that much for gas. Now I would gladly take it.

[Trimix]

In the end though, I love how the oil companies post record level profits.

[oldschoolimport]

In the end though, I love how the oil companies post record level profits.

NO SHIT!!! that KILLS me! its like throwing it in our faces. they are admitting to fucking us, and nothing is being done...

[!@#$%]

It's like they are selling us air at a jacked up price because we need it to live, except they tell us that the air is running out so they need to shut it down for a bit.

[Bificus]

Holy price manipulation, 2002 fillup 9-10 bux premium for 8 or so gallons. Today 89 octane is about $32 last fillup. That sux.

[iLLoGiCaL]

my car just costed me 40$ to fill when I first got the EP it cost 20$ :(

[nightbear]

haha i just put my turbo backin, great timing for me

[fungkeyfresh]

when I was 14, I could fill up my scooter for 50 cents. I could rub 2 quarters together, and ride all week! :mbiggrin:

$5 would get me places!!!

[rd02SiR]

gas in canada is about $1.22/L about $1.33/L for premium

[beechstreet]

i can still remember when i used to drive a 94 suburban in highschool and could pump a couple gallons in with just the change in my pocket and the ashtray

[theyb]

paid 40+ yesterday filling up 87, this sucks

[Trimix]

Shady business going on I tell you.

Bad as it is, I like watching some guy fill up a V8 SUV and see how much he has to pay.

[jdm_ep3]

yes i just put in about 43 dollars the other day man hella sucks

[kwiksi]

k20a2 does not require premium fuel. lol, u guys whine too much, over 5 a gallon here.

New to high compresion motors? Acura clearly states in their owners manual for the TypeS that they recommend high octane fuel in their K20A2 engine part due to the 11:1 compression ratio. Do I need to explain why?
straight from the owner's manual


Type- S
Your vehicle is designed to operate on premium unleaded gasoline with a pump octane of 91 or higher. Use of lower octane gasoline can cause occasional metallic knocking noises in the engine and will result in decreased engine performance.....
Guess what I have under my hood. Not a K20A3! Yeah 93 is a lil overkill , but where I live its 87, 89 or 92 or 93 depending on station.

[Type Stephen]

Id be crapping a brick right now if both my cars didn't get almost 30mpg. :x Thank god we aren't running diesel either. I drove by a sign last weekend that said something crazy like $4.40 a gallon.

Here in Dallas, it's pretty much 87,89, or 93.

I wish there were a station that had 91 for less. Stupid hondata.
