Why is Premium Gas Needed in Acura Models? 

As you fuel your body with healthy food to keep it strong, your Acura operates in the same way with premium gas. You can survive on french fries and potato chips, but why would you provide your body with anything less than the best? 

While your Acura vehicle will run fine on regular gasoline, using the recommended premium unleaded 91-octane fuel is sure to boost performance, increase longevity, and keep your Acura running as it should – providing you with the peace of mind you’ve been seeking. 

The high-performance Acura NSX requires premium fuel to keep its thrilling 573-hp powertrain operating at peak performance.  

What Does the Octane Rating of Gasoline Mean?

A fuel’s octane rating measures its stability during combustion. A high octane rating is more resistant to “knocking” or “pinging,” so the air/fuel mixture is less likely to denotate prematurely. Octane ratings typically break down as:

  • 87 for Regular
  • 88 – 90 for Midrange
  • 91 – 94 for Premium

Acura vehicles are designed for high performance, and fueling them with premium gas is sure to keep that precision engineering going for years to come.
