I'll take free cheap gas any day. I put cheap gas in anyways. (Costco)
I used to love going to Costo to get gas (Hayward) when it first opened up, but stopped going there because they only offered the lowest (87) and highest (91) grades; my minivan prefers the mid (89). Otherwise, premium fuel at a good price. I went to gas-up at the Sunnyvale location once in my life and it'll probably the last- too many cars, long lines.

Wait, stupid question. The CTR requires premium?

You’ll get best performance w/premium but will run fine on reg too. This is a performance street racer that driven sensibly can return good fuel economy. See this thread?

What gas thread

I always use 93 (in FL)

Sunoco good go-go, here cheap is Racetrack, most Tom Thumb convenience stores have Citgo, Murphy/Wal-Mart usually good price (W even has Ethanol free here).

If you want to run this car with 87, I would not buy it. I know it says 91 recommended, but I thought that by running 87,
you will be losing power and I don’t know how longevity is effected by using the cheaper stuff.

2.5k over on a 19 wasn't a good deal
of course it was not but in OC where I live, good luck. that was the best I can do. not ashamed too much by it just a minor set back. it was either this or pay for an overpriced 100K miles NA1 NSX. think I made a better choice (despite values going up on first gen NSXs but I don't I don't care about selling). markup should not be paid but with cars like this what can you do especially in shitty CA. I am too lazy and didn't want to deal with shipping.

But if I put regular, is there any clear issues? Trying to save a dollar, which is why I'm capable of getting the CTR LOL.
Pretty sure you’re losing power with anything less than 91. The reason we don’t get 316 HP like other markets is because our baseline for premium is 91.

Back to the topic at a hand...

Honda dealership in Stuart, FL has a 2020 with about 2000 miles in SGP. Pictures look like good condition, asking $39.9 CPO. They dropped to 38.4 but that's still too much for what it is IMHO.

I am patient.

That definitely needs to be less than msrp because it is USED.

Granted I don’t know how much you drive - but if you take the difference between a full tank of premium and a full tank of regular - it’s probably less than what a 1 coffee would cost at Starbucks for the week. And I always find that premium seems to have a little better gas mileage (might be a placebo effect) but that is what I think.

It seems like all the prices for used cars are going up - both on trade in and when purchasing. Not sure if you are trading in a vehicle - but maybe look at Carvana - you can literally submit a request and get a quote online without ever having to drive your vehicle to get an idea if the ‘difference’ would make it worth getting it. Seems like every CTR I see online is ‘over priced’ but I believe that it’s the whole 2020 possible shortage as well as being a car in high demand *shrugs* ...IDK.

Is this a common thing for them to leave in? My Civic is on the way and is pretty much wrapped up like the picture. I am assuming this is something I can remove once I get the car.
If the car doesn't go through the typical dealer prep, then I'd imagine it is. His looks like it rolled right off the truck and was loaded onto the transport to him. Another user posted a photo earlier in this thread. They all have it from the factory to lift the front up and prevent damage to the lip during shipping.
