Hello, I have a 1997 Honda prelude. I got it back last summer. The first time I put gas in it, i put regular. I wouldn't say it sounded bad, but it did sound a little louder. But then I saw on my gauges where it read, "Premium Fuel Only." after the first fill up. So from there i put premium in it. Is this really true?

My grandpa says it dont matter. But my older brother has a VW GTI and it takes Premium also. He says it does matter because it will screw up your engine.

i don't know but i did an experiment. I put regular fuel in it for the second time. I measured the MPG. i will tell you i didn't get good gas milage at all. I had to fill it back up around 250miles and it is a 15.9 gallon tank. But when i put premium fuel back in it, and i got better MPG.

SO will putting regular fuel in it ruin the engine???
