You might be interested to know that there have been posts on this site in the past from owners who have used ONLY "regular" fuel in their S2000s for MONTHS because they were being cheap. They have not reported their engines falling out of the car yet. They just don't produce as much power as the rest but I highly doubt that they "drive it easy" all that time.

(OK, you may continue your obsessions now. )

What about those station with one pump and you select the grade by a button. How do u know its functioning properly? Or maybe reprogram to give out the same octane. Wonder also if the person ahead of you filled woth regular. Is there reular in the tube before in prem comes out?

What if you were Jewish and went to the store to buy something "Kosher" and it really wasn't?

This is the EXACT reason I KIRRRKKKKK out whenever I hear there are states that dont let you pump your own gas. I know that there are ing imbeciles out there that can't follow SIMPLE directions.

I know it's not that big of a deal that the car is running regular gas, but what I'm kirking about is the sheer stupidity of the gas station employee...

you should keep it in VTEC all the time so that you'll burn up more gas and get rid of that sh*t QUiCK STYLE.

Hey:
Be glad your not me. I went to fill up, and got a tank full of water. $700 in repairs, and almost 1k miles later the check engine light is still lit from time to time.
