Gasoline
The following are the EPA-approved
percentages of oxygenates:
ETHANOL (ethyl or grain alcohol)
You may use gasoline containing up
to 10% ethanol by volume. Gasoline
containing ethanol may be marketed
under the name "Gasohol."
MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether)
You may use gasoline containing up
to 15% MTBE by volume.
METHANOL (methyl or wood
alcohol)
You may use gasoline containing up
to 5% methanol by volume as long as
it also contains cosolvents and
corrosion inhibitors to protect the
fuel system. Gasoline containing
more than 5% methanol by volume
may cause starting and/or perform-
ance problems. It may also damage
metal, rubber, and plastic parts of
your fuel system.
If you notice any undesirable operat-
ing symptoms, try another service
station or switch to another brand of
gasoline.
Fuel system damage or performance
problems resulting from the use of an
oxygenated fuel containing more
than the percentages of oxygenates
given above are not covered under
warranty.

your NSX will affect performance and
