I just had to do my first fill up on my new Fit, and I was curious what octane fuel everyone uses. I previously drove a VW Golf, and I got in the habit of using a middle grade 89 octane. I noticed in the Fit owner's manual it said you could go down to 87.

Anyone have any thoughts on what's best to use? I instinctively grabbed the 89. What do you use or recommend?

 

i use 87 just b/c thats what i am used to and my car doesn't have any forced induction on it so i don't anything higher. when i go to the dragon this spring and summer i'll medium octane in it

 

Do a search and you will find plenty of good info, but 87 works the best for the Fit.

Honda calls for 87 octane in the owners manual and that's what works best. If it makes you feel better to throw away your money, then go ahead and fill it up with premium. The car won't know the difference.

 

I also use 87. and I would recommend Chevron if possible. Better than the others i think.

 

My Fit loves 87 and it is always Chevron!

Agreed. No point using anything but 87, since that is what the engine is tuned for.

 

Jeeze there is a GIANT post on this subject just search OCTANE we sure don't need ANOTHER post about this subject.

 

honestly 87 octain is probably to much beast for the fit just pee in the tank and youll go like 100 mph faster than u usually would also its good to know that each sticker you put on your window=10 hp

 

enough of the mitsubishi crap.

 

yeah i just went by the manual and use 87 octane at a shell. dont feel like wasting money on higher octane gas just yet

 

i usually go for 89 then every 3 weeks ill use 93 to clean...

 

i just follow the recommendation too, 87
