So can you retune it to run 91? It's pretty much identical right? I don't get why it needs 95. Bloody 2014 mazda 3 runs a compression ratio of 13 and runs 91. This thing does 10.5 and needs 95. That's my only gripe so far. I don't mind 95 for my old teg, but this thing?
The civic hatch is from the UK and 95 is like a basic fuel.
95 is pretty much their basic fuel.
They get higher octanes in europe.

Yeah what I meant was if this is the same engine as the sedan, it would be cheaper to run 91. don't get why you would tune to a higher octane and not get any performance benefits.

Even on a sedan with an e10 compatible ECU, I try to steer away from it because it's not efficient (even though no loss of power) and actually costs more than filling up with 95. Found out the hard way after many years of 11-12L/100KM and straight down to 8-9L/100KM on 95.
In the process of looking at buying the hatch. Very competitive compared to an i30, Cerato, or 3. Much better than a Corolla, Lancer, or Pulsar.
I would personally rather a Corolla to be honest.
Zippy little things they are with awesome handling, Reliable, Value stays the same after a few years and easy to sell in the future.
The 'rolla is a safe buy and should last for ages. I don't like the styling, the look of the dash and the use of a CVT auto. These things are mostly subjective, so each to their own. I think the Civic hatch is an excellent choice at the right price.
