  2006 Honda Civic EX

My brother and his wife have a Honda four door with about 140,000 miles on it, and an older Acura Integra four door with 250,000 on it. (Expedition is parked for those Sunday outings...slurp slurp)

They recently decided to check out the new Honda line up as well as the Acura line up, very impressed with both. However, after doing alot of research, found that they REQUIRE either 91 or 93 octane to properly run. This seemed far fetched as one could imagine, hence the research.

Apparently what happens, is that by running the lower (87) octane, it will take considerable longevity off the cat converter, valves, etc, and over time adds up to big bucks lost.
For the most part they are similar cars, as Honda is Acura's Momma, however, one comes with timing belt, while the other comes with timing chain, just as an example. Again, though similar vehicles, quite different at the bottom line.

They are still contemplating which to get. I saw the pics on their digital camera - darn sporty looking machines.

In either regards, with the postive expereince and success that they have had with the two previous, they undoubtedly will stick with one or the other.
