Well, if its just pistons to be worried about.. than im not worried, I'll use regular gas until I turbo, because I wont be using the same pistons anymore, and I'll do some pics of the pistons when I take them out and put in forged ones for boosting.
Buy an EX/LX you say? No thank you. If it shortens the life of the car from 300 to 200k, then that's fine with me. I'll have a new car by then.
I've seen honda's go 400k miles on regular pump gas. (of course no boosting)
I truely dont use vtec a lot or race. And I refil actually more often than once a week. I drive on average about 2.5k/month, and at $.36 difference/gallon, that's $36/month assuming 25mpg. I'd hit 100k in a little over 3yrs. By then I'll have done 1 of 2 things: ripped the engine apart and done the whole turbo kit.... OR checked the pistons, and buy a new car (and use it on my tax returns for business). BTW, tnx for pointing out that it was a GM employee that said that. I wont totally discredit him, but I'd like to see what other companies have to say about it.
