Most car buyers wouldn't care one bit or know enough to ask. I mention this becuase the "IF" low octane fuel with the Si engine causes future problems it will become known. Another "IF" - If it becomes known then potential buyers will place a value on cars with proven use of correct gas grades and DEvalue those that don't. Just like the value of a car without knowing the timing belt history - is an automatic decrease. Also I've seen this happen with the PD_TDI engine in VW's. They are suffering from owners and dealerships NOT using the correct 505.
01 rated oil and the smart buyers will not buy that car or place a hefty negative value on it.

Lets say you drive ALOT. 20,000 miles/year. So it costs you $160/year in Premium vs Regular...OR $13/Month.

13.00 per month that could be applied to your home loan or high interest credit cards... Do that math! I'

Devalue of the Si for proof....maybe devalue if someone has proof you diddnt? Get outta here man. Your reaching hard. Future problems that occur due to fuel wouldnt be an issue if you just put premium in from the get go.

All I was saying is that - "IF" there are problems with the Si then it will devalue the car. Longshot on the "IF" Since other issues like 3rd gear and poor paint will be more of a concern.

If you can afford the Premium vs Regular, you need to be looking for a new job.

Paid cash for my EX. So I don't think a the job is the issue. It's all on how you save and how you waste money.
