Yep,

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

Can I put in the biodiesel I have been developing in my lab for the last 3 months? I get grease from the local mexican restaurant, and it only takes 16 days to refine. Any luck with that?

As mentioned before if gas cost is a concern this is not the right car for you. Tires last about 10K miles, OEM parts for this car will be more than usual and maintenance cost at the dealer is way more than any other honda.

Unocal has 100 octane (unleaded) at some pumps in California. It's about $5.00 a gallon.

If you are going to keep it in a garage 6 days a week than get the car. Otherwise get one you can afford. The fun and excitement you get from the S comes with a price.

I have to agree, you are talking about a ~20K plus car (used) or ~33-34k MSRP new... if you are really hurting for the $0.30 /gallon difference in gas prices......

Having said that, it's possible. The knock sensor will sense the pre ignition and retard timing,

Not sure why you'd want to.. but if you do..

You guys SUCK!!!!!!!

The guy is just trying to save some $$$.
But allllll you "rich" guys are giving him shit.

I thought the M3 forums were bad (cause the price of car and mods),
but you guys are off the chain.

You guys should just chill the F#$K out, or if you got not good to say,
don't even say it.

Can't stand you people.

I didnt know it made that big of a difference, but for the first time i had to put regular gas due to hurricane wilma. My car runs horrible, its so slow and it bogs all the time.
