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.

And an fyi for anyone wondering, the way to know what octane a vehicle needs is by the compression ratio. As a rule of thumb, anything under an 11.5/1 ratio is just fine on 87 octane. That aint a set in stone number, but its a good ballpark

That rule does not apply if you have a car with forced induction. They have a lower compression ratio because they add boost. The higher the octane the better. (Assuming your air / fuel ratio is dialed in properly) In fact, insufficient or low octane can cause detonation, and then you can go BOOM!

Im in the same boat my 2013 Camaro 2SS with headers is tuned for 91 octane. Even then the Camaro states in the manual for V8's that 91 minimum is recommended.

Understandable. Don't they come with some type of knock sensor that will pull timing in case someone goes full reerun and / or accidently fills up with regular 85/86/87 octane?

Yep, the computer will adjust to a low octane fuel table for timing if someone goes full reerun. I've seen one owner of a 2012 vert SS Camaro using low grade fuel. Only non ethanol 91 for my car.
