There's always an option to get 93 octane and buy octane booster products to boost it up to 100...

This. Also 94 where I am living now, is cheaper than 91 where I used to live :P

Unless you're tuned for 100, there's no sense buying octane booster.

lol good for trolling

100 is definitely stupid and a good waste of money for the street but not a bad idea for track days.

93 93 93 93 93 93 90% of the time, and your good to go.

It is funny I get inferior fuel mileage with 94 octane compare to 91 octane.

Sideways&Smiling · 04-20-2015, 03:45 PM

Does the manual specify 91 or 93 for this car? It's 91 in both the S2000 and 240sx.

manual says 91+

Honestly dude 93 isn't worth the 15% premium for daily driving.

has anyone looked at or installed one of the Diesel Conversion kits?

Thinking about doing it this weekend, but its kinda pricey.

You're supposed to pick up a decent amount of torque though, so I'm really leaning towards it.

Man you don't need a kit to run diesel. The FA20 is high-enough compression already that you can just disconnect the spark plugs entirely and run diesel as-is. You shouldn't rev over 3k, though, as your ECU will start to pull timing.

I bet the 94 is about 10% ethanol. Out here our 94 is, and I noticed a slight decrease in gas mileage.

I sometimes mix it up by going 91 or 93 from what ever station is handy (but gets a lot of traffic) that at any given point in time I am probably actually at about 92.5.

I should know better, but I honestly don't know if you're serious or not.
