Do I really need to fill my 2013 Acura ILX up with premium? It says "recommended" but not "required".

>140 lb-ft at 4,300 rpm
>10.6:1 compression ratio

pretty easy to make a simple test.
fill up with 93 and do a mpg check
and then do it for 87. compare the mpg and see if it is worth the "premium" for high octane

recommended just means it will make its rated HP numbers only when it uses premium
regular will work fine

octane should make no difference in MPG assuming that the blends are otherwise identical in ethanol content

>>16814445
of course it does. more octane means more ignition advance.

more ignition advance does not mean better fuel mileage
it just means the car makes more power

>>16814463
ive noticed more mpg with ignition advance. can you prove this? id like to hear your source.

No. It's a Honda.
