When I had my 1.5 liter I could fill up on 87 for 15$. I ran the remainder of that out and put 93 in the tank for the b16. It was like 27$. REDICULOUS!

The LS can run fine off 87 octane but the GSR needs 91 at the bare minimum.

I pay over $30 to fill my tank with piss 91 octane, but at least I only have to fill once a week.

high gas prices?? the prices here just went from 209 to 199 and yesterday i was at the lake of the ozarks and saw 194.....when it gets up to $3 or $4 then u can legittamently start complaining about the prices. until our free ride on low prices(compared to everwhere else in the world) ends, live it up and stop complaining.

oh guys, please. Remember, that you're driving a honda. The amounts that we pay are still nothing compared to a lot of suvs or bigger engine'd cars. So stop complaining and just suck up the cost. Because until you change the fuel pump in your cars, it's still the suckin up the stock consumption. Don't you think that it would suck more if we only got like 10-20 mpg>? But since we don't, just don't worry about it.

Both of my cars about $130/month
Hummer H1 $150+/mo
