I didnt said it has to be 98RON "minimum requirement" coz there wont be anything to recomend after that... "minimum requirement" is sort of like 'its enough to run the car, but not the best option'. That is why the Subaru put 95 RON as minimum requirement, but maybe the "recomended" is 98RON.

You see, it is still about the brand reputation.
Again, I (and as the topic title said) talked about the CTR (and why Type Rs are 'downgraded' here in Australia), not the normal Civics.

And for this one I still prefer the Type R (note: Type R are made in Japan).

peace out...
