    91 Premium or better. The day I can't afford 91 Premium is the day I put my NSX up for sale.

    91 (that's all we get here ), but do a 50/50 mix with 100 occasionally.

    Well if I had an X she would only get premium! For now, the boosted CRX only get 92 ocatane, with the occasional tank of 100 and a few more pounds of boost.

    94 octane Sunoco premium only, it's hard for me to settle for 93 octane. Couldn't imagine having to use 91 in cali.

    Re: What Kind of Fuel Do You Use in Your NSX?

    unfortunately, thanks to my good friends in CARB, 91 octane is the best we're going to get in CA so that's what my NSX eats.

    putting less than premium in an NSX makes absolutely no sense to me. it's a high performance sports car for God's sake.

    I believe 91 octane in North America, where octane is measured as (RON+MON)/2, is equivalent to 96 octane in other markets where octane is measured as RON.

    Never less than 91-93 for me.

    However, I do alternate between 91-93 and 89 on the TL.

    Now that I'm running FI, I figure I'd better stick with 94 to keep it safe.

    91 octane in California. Higher where I can get it when I travel. Race fuel at the track.

    Re: What Kind of Fuel Do You Use in Your NSX?

    Premium almost all the time,but the last fill was a mid-grade. Just to try if I can see any difference. No siginificant difference noticed on regular road with regular driving with regular tires. I did blow away a Neon SRT-4 at the light after giving him a two second head start. That's the best I could find on the roads here in PA, unlike in CA where there are Ferraris everywhere. Maybe he was using regular gas.

    Re: What Kind of Fuel Do You Use in Your NSX?

    Those darn Neons always want to race...

    Amoco 93 for my vote always, unless there's no amoco around I use exxon/mobil

    Always at least 93. If i lived in CA or CO I would have to fill up at the track only.

    Premium only as recommended.

    Are you not asking for trouble if you use anything less?

    I never ever use ARCO or CITGO too.

    Prefer brand is Chevron.
