If you think it is so bad here look around the world and see what other countries deal with on gasoline and other living/costs issues. You may find it is pretty good here...still.
Always has been that way.

DO NOT use 87 in the K20C1 EVER unless it is an absolute emergency. There is a small performance shop down the street from my house that is doing a motor swap on another local FK8 because the kid that owns it bought it used and wasn't really an "enthusiast" thus he fed the car strictly 87 for about 3 months before he blew it up.
I'm calling BS on that

87 octane is NOT THE REASON that engine blew up

87 should not be used, but its not going to blow your engine

Back to fuel efficiency. By driving the car gently until gas comes down, you could save a bit of money. I think the Type R is a marvel in that you can drive on eggshells, and get great gas mileage, or hammer it for the thrill, and pay the piper.

By the owner's manual it does say "91 octane recommendation" and using lower octane, you will lose performance. I wouldn't use 87 on my car. My R does get pretty good MPG. I had to put it in "comfort" for a couple of mile cause the road here sucks.

If I drive mine like a normal car, 32-35 is easily attainable

Let me guess record profits came from them not pumping as much oil. Who could have guessed supply demand side?

So 87 octane is fine for winter driving?....

Won't be going under boost, my other car broke and won't be fixed for a few weeks so have no choice but to drive Type R.
