The kind it needs, the kind they tell you.

REGULAR

in 3 years I have only used Regular, never had a ping. I know some folks use super when they tow their boats, but I dont tow.

Its an easy beast to keep happy

More important than which grade is which brand: [http://www.toptiergas.com/retailers.html].

regular, at the cheapest station (usually costco).

rlapid · 03-04-2008, 06:47 AM

regular 87, always from chevron or shell.

In Colorado, our regular is 85 octane. I assume this will be sufficient for the Pilot?

the reason i had asked is because when i first picked it up from the dealer, it took two days of driving to go down a 1/4 of a tank. I filled it up with regular a week later at night, went out to a bar. When i got home i was down a 1/4 of a tank in a couple of hours compared to two days.

Sounds like someone at the bar siphoned you.

Yeah or the first fillup didn't get it as full as when it left the Dealer.

Either way, it's easy to burn 5 gallons of fuel in a couple hours. You'd only have to drive 75 or 85 miles at a leisurely 40mph. I problably burn 3.5 gallons per day just commuting for work.

(I sense an mpg discussion coming.

iirc, my owner's manual says you must use 87 octane or higher.

I see that everyone has their own gasoline brand, for their pilot.
But what do you guys tell me about "VALERO" since i bought my pilot i've been using the midgrade and my pilot, it's been happy since then. specially when i press the pedal to the metal...
