less u mean?
mate im jus talking about a turbo honda vs slightly modded n/a honda...
anyway regardless of what car u have, fuel for turbo car, required = 92 high octane or higher (more expensive then normal unleaded isnt it? Yes)
dude, u are crazy.
to make power, you have to use fuel.
to make power, u have to increase compression
this means good fuel and u will use it.
the reason why NA honda's use so littke fuel, is cause they make no ****ing power.
lol weq dude, im jus giving my 2c with fuel costs in regards to what the guy asked... im just saying.. overall, with a turbo u would be using premium always compared to n/a car which can run on regular, as in u would be spending more for cost of fuel each week, das all...Quote:

All our turbo cars use Shell Optimax so sometimes the weekly fuel bills can be a lil :confused: But if you can afford the 'better' quality/octane fuel.. then why not right? Turbo or NA tho.. if you drive like a hoon constantly your car will literally drink your fuel silly
Im all in for NA cars.. I drive turbo but you'll catch me daydreaming over a sweet looking Honda especially a Type R Integra anyday LOL
Sometimes you see NA cars modded up soo much to achieve more power etc.. its just too funny. Makes you wanna say 'dude, just go buy yourself a turbo'
I think with turbo and NA, it'll cost you around the same either way
narh turbo way cheap and gains are easier
personally if i had a bit more money i would have just got a turbo car from the start
i dont get peoples facination with the 'na all the way attitude' na is boring...
i like the VROOM pssssh hahaha :D
bcozz n/a is more impressive.. wen u see an n/a pulling 12's.. u sperm ur pants dont u? but wen u see a boosted car pullin 12s.. its something u see everyday so its like meh?
lol no mate...Quote:
