Acura no longer says you have to use premium. They changed their wording in the owners manual around 2006. They now say 87 is minimum.
 
For 2005 it states 91 octane premium required, lower octane may cause damage.
 
The 2006 manual though says 91+ octane recommended however 87+ octane may be used with reduced performance. Lower than 87 octane may cause engine damage and engine knock.

 
You probably won't get 100% possible performance with 87, but if you are using it for a commuter car and not pushing it hard, you will not miss anything.
Acura now restricts their warnings of engine damage on the TSX to fuel used that is below 87 octane (which I don't think is even sold in the US).

If you aren't getting 100% performance, you may not get 100% of the fuel mileage, either...
 
I don't know... but, it's possible..
 
They sell 85 octane regular in high altitude locations.. since the air is less dense, less fuel is needed for proper ignition.. (in those locations, it is suitable for 87 octane requirements).

I am the proud owner of a 06 6spd/nav tsx, bought new 11/17/06, with almost 38,000 miles. I average 32-36MPG, using 87 Octane gas. It has more than enough power and performance. I do not over-rev it and do mostly highway driving.

Hi, I been looking around for a TSX w/o navi and so far the best OTD price was 29588. I don't know how invoice is calculated but the sticker price is 28,910. I am in North California and am not sure about the pricing of this. I want to know some opinions on this.

Went to Corte Madera today. They quoted an invoice $250 over Edmunds, and cited advertising fees added in the last month. They would not entertain the amount you talked about above. Any advice?

That price sounds better if it included nav. I live in NC and bought my tsx in PA. I bought one vehicle in NC-never again.

That price is too high - especially with the 2009 models coming out soon. However, if you want to get one, the dealer may not have much selection (color) left. I live in LA and we have high tax. I had to pay 8.75% and I was able to get it $28.5k out the door.

NC sales tax on vehicles (it is called Highway use tax) is 3% but then we pay personal property tax each year on the vehicle.

I am getting close to that price, best so far is a little under $26,400 invoice with the OTD being $29,000 flat. I have been asking many other dealers and this is the best price so far. Will the price drop anytime soon or will it stay the same despite the 09s?

Are there incentives on the 08 TSX? I think there is 2K on the TL. For about 3K more than the base TSX you could get a base TL. With the 09 right around the corner I would think there would be a discount.
