Default Expensive Gas - Does the s2000 HAVE to have it?

Hello,

I am mulling buying an s2000. I'd like to hear some user's experiences about the highest octane and the lowest 87 octane and whether or not they'd risk putting the 87 into their s2000? Any thoughts?

Let's put it this way....if you can't afford the gas you can't afford the car(i.e. tires insurance, etc....)

But to be honest, I am completely content just looking at that and ignoring whatever you say

, that signature distracts me for at least 30 seconds everytime I see it . BTW, if you can't put 91 or 93 octane than don't buy an S2K.

So 91 octane is fair game?

Well, I only say that because not all states have 93 octane. I live in NY where 93 is available so that is what I use, but in a state like Cali I believe that 91 is the highest available. Yes, you can use 91 octane though.

That's the highest we get in the state of California, so yeah. (Aside from the local station that sells 98 unleaded for like $5 a gallon)

Yep,

If less than a dollar difference in Gas price between different grades concerns you then you shouldn't be buying this car.
