I've recently read with interest an Article covered by Auto Express about the fk8 and that the only engine available is the 2 litre dfi turbo and is basically the same engine as in the fk2 but tuned to develop 10bhp more thanks to the new exhaust system.
It goes on to say,Honda has tuned the civic type R's engine to work on 95ron unleaded fuel,but it recommends you use 98 Ron and higher premium Ron unleaded for best performance from the engine and to help prevent premature engine wear.Do I take it then that this applies to the same basic engine fitted to the fk2? as this wasn't stated in the reviews when the fk2 was introduced and reviewed. Your thoughts please?
Further to the introduction of e10 in September I have been using e5 fuel which varies from 97 to 99 Ron and quite a big difference in price over different areas in the UK. Recently for e5 99 Ron reaching an all time high of £1.49.9 per litre where I am in Wakefield West Yorkshire. So I suppose it's the old question which is the best option of fuel to use in the fk2 97 Ron and priced lower than 99 Ron fuel or use super unleaded 99 Ron at a higher price?Am I wasting money on 99 Ron ?or go for 97 ron The more members reply will give a better collective answer. Regards Fred.
