budweiser11023 Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Hey everyone new hear, I am a member on the bmw forums, but now own a Honda and have come here. I just had a question I have a 2005 Honda Accord LX Black, and i heard the best gas to put into your car is tier one. Around me I have BP, Marathon, and Speedway. Are any of those tier one, and if not which one is the best gas to be put in your car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My car takes unleaded, and even though premium is better my car isnt made for it, so it would be a waste because it would treat it as unleaded.

dfj240 Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Yeah the tier 1 gas stations are Texaco, Shell, Chevron, BP, and Mobil.. I personally use Chevron a lot, but when I'm feeling a little rich I use Shell.. Shell is definitely best.. But any of those would do you just fine.. I agree with Mr. JDM in that you should definitely use premium.. I own a 95 Accord, and I use premium just because it's better gas.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SolLesHonda Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Premium makes a difference of about five bucks MAX, when filling up. And that is a stretch. You figure it's about $0.20 more than regular, and you have at the most 20 gallon tank, you just paid a whole $4.00 more. Big woop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big woop. good point, 16-20$ extra a month i can handle, but is it worth it in the long run for sure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurboLancer Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 higher octane numbers represent numours factors, one of them being resistence to pinging and detonation. If your car does not require high octane gas you are WASTeING YOUR MONEY!!!!! Dont believe me? use the link in my sig, it tells you all about it!

budweiser11023 Posted January 9, 2006 Author Share Posted January 9, 2006 ya I agree, I moved to BP though now instead of going to marathons because you guys said it was better, I'm going to go with Shell once I get hired for my new job and get money again.

Romlogic Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Well i dont keep a car that long perhaps like 1-3 years and where i live now the best gas is at 2.60$ thats giving in to the government if you ask me i pay the bare min on price and if i know i'm gonna race some one which i like to just chill and ride then i pay the extra if i know its going to help in some small way..other than that 2005 model accord only tells you to take Reg in the tank it tells you in the manual..They way the gas prices are now i dont fawk around with high grade no point when i dont keep my car that long i'd rather save the extra cash for the payment !
