Im not telling him to use normal unleaded. I recomend premuim all the way for VTiR's.

hahaha Ummm that was my point. That people are too stupid to realise the difference and end up putting in the wrong stuff... I was saying that the whole time.

Too stupid to realise the diffrence between two fuel bowsers that say "Unleaded" and "Premium"? Even when it says "Premium Only" on the fuel door? Would somone this stupid even be able to drive a car? :p

Lol, people like that *deserve* to have their engine blown up :p

Anyway, the answer is that the B16 will operate on standard unleaded with timing retarded by the knock sensor. For how long, who knows. The fact that the knock sensor is triggered means that the engine is knocking :(
