Do you use premium gas?
 
I'm buying a 2009 Odyssey from my in-laws. They're good folks.

I've never ever bothered putting anything but cheap gas in my vehicles.

I'm just checking in to see if that's foolish or as I have thought, not a problem.

Yes, the valve guides would have suffered from unleaded in my '62 Buick, so the lead I did ad back in.

These modern cars, not so sure. What say ye?

I use it in my GT 500 because I have a tune that requires at least 93 octane. I don't use it in my Explorer because the computer compensates for the lower octane rating. I wouldn't think you'd need it in your Odyssey as I'm sure the computer can easily make due with 87 octane.

It's a ****ing van.

Does that answer your question?

If its not tuned for it, dont waste your money.

I use premium in all my small engines, but i put cheap shit in my vehicles.

In my 69 Mustang and my 15 SHO Taurus but only cause the engines require it, anything else I'm to cheap but I love those cars.

Bugeater 11-09-2015 06:49 PM

Ford brought the SHO Taurus back?

I usually put a large amount of Q in my tank.

Oh. I knew they brought the Taurus back but I didn't know there was an SHO version. I'd think I'd have seen one by now.

My Sienna has never run better.

No, but occasionally I have it.

King_Chief_Fan 11-09-2015 06:53 PM

Wife ML 350 and my c350 coupe use premium

TrebMaxx 11-09-2015 06:57 PM

Use what the manual recommends. One of my vehicles gets premium and two run on 87 octane.

No. If the manufacturer doesn't call for it, then you're wasting your money
