Honda owners...or anyone

[heiachi]

I just got a brand new Honda civic and I would really like to drive it for the next 10 years...I have always put Shell in my car because it's a 'toptier' fuel and its got a pretty good reputation of being cleaner for the engine and also Honda 'recommends' it...But with the price of gas these days, I was thinking of getting the canadian tire gas advantage mastercard which could potentially give me 10 cents off every time I fill up...keeping that in mind...

1. How is canadian tire gas compared to Shell?

2. Will I be doing any long term damage to the car? (engine deposits etc)

3. How about gas mileage and performance? keep in mind i use octane 87.

4. Does it have MMT? How are its detergent additives?

All opinions are welcome and any insight into this matter is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

1. I have been using CDN tire for the last 3 years with no issues .
2. I wouldn`t worry about engine deposits .
3. My wife uses 87 in our 07 ex and gets about 6.8L/100km .I use 91 in my 08 Si and get 7.0L/100km .
4. I don`t worry about and additives .

Your Civic will last ten years easy if you maitain it .I doubt gas will make much of a diffrence .Just use mane brand gas bars .

Man, you must be really light on the gas, I get about 8.5L/100km on my Si with 35/65 hwy/city.

Shell was known to cause engine damage a couple years ago because of some additives. Canadian Tire piggybacks off of Esso as far as I know

Esso supplies Cdn Tire gasoline in the GTA.

is Esso good compared to shell...regarding mileage and performance?

Short shifting and easy on the gas is the key .I also drive about 75% HWY .

But I must admit I do hit 8K rpm several times a week .

[azndoughboi]

you redline your car several times a week?

i get about 8.5L/100km too on my 08SI, and only VTEC once every two days

from your avatar you have the same car as my sister, her transmission blew up after 80k though and replaced 2 times.

Don't know if it's good but I get better mileage with ESSO than Shell. I drive 04 Nissan Altima.

man i wish i had a civic for times like these

am getting about 13L/100km on my 2007 Nissan Murano

i think i use the castrol synthetic

w/ shell 87, my family's 06 ex gets like ~10.1L/100km... 100% city... driving like a regular person
w/ shell 87, my 01 sienna gets ~10.5L/100km... 75% highway... driving like a grandma everywhere

anyway.. esso isn't toptier gas retailer. dunno if they r under another company? but yea...

[heiachi]

does 'toptier' mean something...or does it just mean that Honda is in bed with shell? well if CT gas is reasonable with performance and driving then i dont mind saving a few bucks.

[heiachi]

is it good using 2 different brands of gasoline in the same car?
