ok did my reading from the stupid shell site now. So does anyone know if earlier pre 2003 honda cars are ok using 5% ethanol? I know the FCAI says that we can't use E10.
Stupid @*(#$@(#* Howard and his dumb E10 plan i hope his car blows up from using the E10 fuel so that he knows what the rest of us have to put up with!
Dang! Thanks for the confidence boost :rolleyes:Quote:

For the sake of keeping 98 octane ethanol free, I'll be one of those who boycotts any fuel with ethanol. hehe.
I don't feel any different compare with ultimate and extreme. Maybe i am using stock ecu.
2cents more-1.25 aliter compared to optimax. with my ultra economy shift i did 285 km in 22 liters. shift first at 2000 than skip to third then fifth. the octane 100 is really good because it never pings even at 1000 rpm at fifth floored. The car does not shake or so ever. Tyr the fuel first , if you dnt like it you can always switch back to your favourite.Quote:

honda cars are safe up to 15% blend according to honda manual.....you should be right.
Honda australia's list does not list anything older than a 2002 Integra that will run satisfactorily on 10% ethanol fuel. I'm sure the fuel lines would survive E10, but there are other seals throughout the engine, that might not be ethanol-resistant in the older engines.Quote:

I just filled up my EK1 Civic with Extreme. I wasn't completely empty, so I won't notice any difference (if any) for a little while. I'll reset mu ecu when the tank is about 3/4 full, because by then all the 98RON Ultimate should have been used.
I'll post how it goes...
**EDIT:
If it stuffs up my engine, I'll use it as my excuse to convince the missus that it needs a new engine *cough* B18c *cough*
:D
e5 is safe for my old integra ls. but e10 would not allowed in austarlia unless we all managed to upgrade. remember, all patrol companies are aim to profitize, if there is a enough demand and support they will keep up. Like octne 95 has been deleted in Shell station.
let us knoww what the outcome is...ill consider it after u try it hahahaQuote:
