It is hard to say without having ever used regular to compare. I would seriously doubt a 5hp gain from fuel alone--unless maybe you're comparing regular to 76 cool blue or something--but I don't know for sure.
BTW pm me if you are interested in getting rid of your underbody kit
Hey Playa,
Thanks for hittin me back up.....sorry, I dont have any plans right now on getting rid of the underbody kit....sorry about that.....if I do anything, I was thinking of soon selling the car to get a four-door sedan of some kind, either the new Accord or the Mazda 6 with the sports package....
With regard to the fuel, thats interesting that you put premium fuel even on the FOUR BANGER....I would think to use regular there for sure; but perhaps you are right ---- this dealer probably didnt know his asshole from a hole in the wall when he said the power should go up five horses; either way, that wouldnt make a difference to me because the car is kept and maintained for show, basically, and for local cruising.....its not set up to race or anything.
I was just curious if premium gas was recommended for the V-6 engine, and/or if any damage could occur by continuing to use the premium fuel.....
