Okay. Because an article in USA Today told me that it's okay to use 87 Octane in my turbocharged MR2, I'm going to do that from now on forward.

LOL, I was going to say the same thing, I was looking at all the cars, then half way down Timpo strategically placed a stupid riced out civic in with the super cars LOL
However, granted, that car probably really does need 94 assuming it's tuned.

. | You have no idea, the riced up fugly Civic is on par if not better than the McLaren F1 and Enzo in his eyes, but still, nothing comes close to the king of all Veilside kits
He earned his title for a reason, really

| I would love to know his reasoning behind that statement... If the car can safely run on 87, then why bother running 91 at all. Doesn't make sense. The car either needs it, or it doesn't.

lol at people putting regular gas onto their cars...the higher the octane rating, the less of a tendency the engine has to knock
regular gas - burns faster which leads to carbon buildup

It's also funny how some people buy a car that says it takes regular yet they'll only put in 92 or higher. Maybe it makes them think they are driving a higher end car.

If the car specifies premium, why not use it?

Putting 94 octane into a car that only needs 87 to burn at it's optimum temperature will spend more time overheating in an effort to burn the higher octane. It wont extend the life of your engine; if anything, there's a possibility that it may decrease its life.

I've put both 87 & 92 in my car (91 recommended). The car runs quieter when I put 92. Mileage is about the same. I just put 87 when gas is expensive, and 92 when gas price comes down
