E10 is useless in just about any car made before 2002..

You got a nice ride so why cheap out on the food you give it :/ premium does it for me 600+ kms a tank in my ek

Well yes. The initial saving in fuel cost is quickly overshadowed by the lack of power and less fuel economy. So why bother ?

Glad someone else has the same sight into the fuel situation :D

Well I run e10 in my charade run around car 650kms to a tank all the time and thats giving it and still going at 250000kms but that's a shit box car... If u luv your car a extra couple of $ for the the good stuff doesn't hurt and besides in a car that u want to go good wouldn't you try the best, to get the most out of it??

I thought B16's were meant to run on 95 RON? Thats what it said on my EM1.

Honda All Honda vehicles should use the fuel recommended in the owners hand book.
The following models will operate satisfactorily on E10:
Insight (2004 onwards),
Civic range (including Civic Hybrid) - 2004 onwards;
S2000 - 2004 onwards,
CRV - 2003 onwards,
MD-X - 2003 onwards,
Accord & Accord Euro - 2003 onwards.

Honda does not recommend E10 for other vehicle models because there may be drivability issues.
