I just bought a brand new FIT yesterday and I love it!!! I've been known to baby my vehicles. Prompt oil changes, best gasoline, yada yada yada...
Honda suggested that I put regular unleaded in my new fit, and always. I have a really hard time with that....Is it true?

 

it's engineered to run on 87 octane,,,you get no benifit from running higher octane gas, just costs more. It's more important that you buy good QUALITY gas from a major brand than the higher octane IMHO. Trust the Honda engineers.

 

Exxon and Mobile I suppose?

 

Yes it's OK to use regular. No benefit with premium. I use Top Tier Gasoline

 

never heard of it. I live in NY and the best I suppose are sunoko, mobil, exxon, and possibly hess.

 

TOP TIER Gasoline Retailers:
QuikTrip
Chevron
Conoco
Phillips
76
Shell
Entec Stations
MFA Oil Company
Kwik Trip/Kwik Star
The Somerset Refinery, Inc.
Chevron-Canada
Aloha Petroleum
Tri-Par Oil Company
Shell-Canada
Texaco
Petro-Canada
Sunoco-Canada

 

Waste of money mate, but if it makes you feel better, go ahead and buy regular gas and just send me the cash difference for high octane each time you fill up.

 

I bought my Fit in May and a few weeks later went to go fill up the tank and decided to get supreme! Chevron - this is what my Ford Ranger always took and it would run so nice but would ping on regular unleaded. So I decided that that would be best for the new ride. Little Fit hated the supreme - cough, choked and flpttttt on the gas. I ran that tank out as fast as I could. Once I refilled with regular (cheap) gas the car ran just like new again. I have only used regular unleaded since then without any problems at all. Save your money and enjoy the extra jingle in your pocket!

Regular 87!!

 

thanks guy! I hadn't known these top-tier companies existed. Fortunately I always figured the more bigger known companies would be better. Fill up the Fit only with Conoco or QT 87 so far.. glad I was doing it some good.
