I still don't understand directly disobeying what the fuel door says "PREMIUM UNLEADED ONLY"
For me, it's not the additional $0.20/gal, it's just the base cost of gas.
I've quit eating fast food and when I do I order a free water (just say like I need a Bean Burrito no onions with a free small water)
I go on less joy rides
I started smoking bowls instead of joints
Whatever you can do to lower some cost in your life will more than adaquetly make up for your necessity to use 91+
I mean think about it -- the cost of premium versus regular is a maximum of $2.40 a tank. That's what to you -- like $15 a month?

I've been reading this thread but it is too long to read all the postings. My question is, "Do most of you RSX owners run the same stock size tires & rims on your RSX??? base model has 205/55 R16 & the type-S has 215/45 R17.
