Replying to: scottm123 (Nov 03, 2006 6:11 am) Total cost of the package was $585. I can't pay anyone to detail the inside and outside of my car for $100 a year, that alone is worth the price. Especially thought it was a good idea for my new Black '07 MDX with Taupe interior. |

| When I go over a speed bump at about 15 mph, the warning light that is the yellow triangle with the "!" in it flashes and the car can't seem to go for a couple seconds. It sounds like it is winding up or can't find the gear. It then clears and is fine. It annoying, because you slow down for a speed bump and then accellerate after the bump. I get this pause. Has anyone else had this problem. I have never had it any of my prior vehicles. | |

I just bought 2007 MDX and the manual suggests to use Premium Gasoline for the car. I have heard that it is not really necessary and doesn't really make any difference in MPG or any other way if we just use Regular gasoline. How about warranties being honored if you have been putting regular gasoline? I don't trust the gas station owners enough and think that even if I pay for Premium gas there is no guarantee about what comes through the pump. I have driven the car only for about 200 miles (half local, half highway using only the gas that dealer filled in the tank) and the MPG displays arounf 15 MPG against listed 17 MPG - 22 MPG. Please advise and share your own experiences.

Replying to: net2net_99 (Aug 28, 2007 6:20 am) So the owner's manual recommends premium but doesn't require it? Some people find that their mpg with premium (when the manufacturer recommends it) is high enough to offset the additional cost of the gas so you may actually save a little by burning premium. Check out the What about fuel types & gas mileage? discussion while waiting for other responses in here. (Post 221 in the Fuel Types discussion is a favorite of mine).

Replying to: steve_ (Aug 28, 2007 7:30 am) thanks for the reply. I will admit that I don't remember the exact verbiage in the manual about Octane rating (Require Vs. Recommend). I didn't even know about the other forum you referred to, that is where I should be reading more on this.

Replying to: net2net_99 (Aug 28, 2007 8:27 am) The fuel types one isn't model specific - I'm thinking there may be an MDX owner who has experimented and can report on performance and mpg results between regular and premium in here. The Acura MDX MPG Real World Numbers discussion may be of interest too.
