if it was tuned for 91 ron you would see little difference when using 98. I'd say use 95 ron at most, I've just started using 95 ron because i noticed the motor pings a little bit.

then thats easy.... if u gonna use 98 ron all the time, u can advance the timing a bit to gain more power........

yeah likewise I only use standard unleaded on my FD2. Agreed that the extra 10c or more a litre is a waste. Only ever tried ethanol once (10% one from Shell). It went fine but I'm reluctant to use Ethanol fuel on a regular basis.

How come the salesperson in Honda is telling me that it's better to use ethanol? I just got my MY10 last week, I was supposed to refuel using ethanol but I was in a hurry to look for Shell station so I decided to just pump 95 RON.

What's with ethanol? Can somebody please clarify? THanks

There is nothing wrong with using ethonal fuel as the engine is designed to run on it. Just do your search on ethonal fuels. As a general rule you will loose about 10% of power & fuel consumption will increase by around 10%. Therefore it is uneconomical to use it as it will cost you more $$$$$ to travel the same distance.

It is the same with using premium fuel. If my memory serves me correctly I would get an extra 10 to 20km per tank on an FD1 Auto, therefore it is not worth the extra 10 cents per litre.

yeah but using 95 or 98ron petrol will be better for your engine in the long run???

[Zimp13]

if u put 95 ron, might as well add another 4c for the 98 ron... really not much difference in the dollar value already....

[Zimp13]

anyway, fuel consumption for fd sux.....

Could you please clarify as to how 95 or 98 RON fuel will be better for the engine?

As previously posted I tried 4 or 5 tanks of 95 RON while I had my FD! auto and it made no noticeable difference to either performance or economy. Averaging 6.78L/100km over the 2 1/2 years I had the car with a best recorded of 5.8 tells me it is more than suited to using standard 91RON. It would be hard to find a more economical car.

why the **** would i put '???' at the end of the sentence if i knew. jesus.

Maybe it could be better for keeping the injectors cleaner for the long-term..
