#41 of 104 Re: gas grade by rross553 Apr 12, 2005 (9:53 am)
Replying to: copseyal (Jun 17, 2004 7:44 am) Just bought a 2005 TSX. I bought it for good gas mileage and saving on gas money. Dealer tells me that it must, MUST, run on premium gas. Is this true?

Replying to: rross553 (Apr 12, 2005 9:53 am) Minimum 91 octane is what is recommended. It will run on regular 87 or mid-grade 89 but the computer will reduce the performance. You will probably also discover that you get less miles per gallon running a lesser grade of fuel - it may cost you more to buy the less expensive grade.   Good Luck.

Replying to: rross553 (Apr 12, 2005 9:53 am) You should have asked those questions before you bought the car, not after. Regardless, the owner's manual states usage of fuel lower than 91 octane may damage your engine.   If it's any consolation, do a quick computation of your annual fuel cost using regular unleaded versus premium unleaded. In my case it amounts to a whole $111 more per year and I drive 20000 miles per year. Here in Texas 93 octane is only 15 cents more per gallon than 87 octane.

Replying to: manavi (Apr 12, 2005 1:03 pm) Here in Texas 93 octane is only 15 cents more per gallon than 87 octane.   Here in Boston it was always $0.20 more for premium. Now some stations are over a $0.30 differential. I wonder why??

Replying to: manavi (Apr 12, 2005 1:03 pm) I'm concerned by something that manavi pointed out. I didn't realize that using less than premium might damage one's engine. I was under the impression that it would just reduce performance, and possibly gas mileage. Replies to this message: manavi (Apr 13, 2005 1:28 pm)

Replying to: carguy000 (Apr 12, 2005 1:49 pm) It's on page 152 of the TSX owner's manual.
#47 of 104 i havent tried to wipe down the dash, but ... by members78 Jun 17, 2004 (8:44 am)
i think water should work, or a little soap if ya got a stain. i dont like using that armor-all stuff cuz I dont know whats in it, and it leaves a very visible trail, so if you dont wipe every spot, it's noticeable. just my neuroses.

PVC = polyvinyl chloride, and ArmorAll Ultimate Clean works well on the dash, leaving it with that nice conditioned look, but with a relatively low-gloss finish. Replies to this message: tommyijr (Jun 21, 2004 10:44 pm) frisconick (Jul 25, 2005 8:07 am)

Replying to: johnny420 (Jun 19, 2004 8:01 pm) Try AmourAll High Gloss, anything but a low gloss finish, in fact when driving into the sun the glare of the dash off on the windshield can be strong.

Replying to: johnny420 (Jun 19, 2004 8:01 pm) I prefer a low-gloss finish too, thanks for the info.
