Sorry to change the conversation, however my casual reading tells me that Ethanol in all grades is the least efficient bio-fuel thus far tested, and is in direct competition with humans for a ready available food source. Ethanol as fuel source should be removed our Lexicon. One day we all will regret the use of corn in this way.

I believe Acura recommeds premium gasoline for the MDX.
However, I would like to use regular gasoline.
I need feedback form other owners who are doing this or may haev done this in the past. Any degradation in engine performance or pinging?
Thanks!

While it is unlikely that your engine will ping, it fairly certain that both performance and fuel economy will suffer. Long story short, it will cost you less to use premium fuel in the car.
