Gas Station Information
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
performance problems. It may
also damage metal, rubber, and
plastic parts of your fuel system.
If you notice any undesirable
operating 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
previously are not covered
under warranty.
Driving in Foreign Countries
Using any type of leaded gasoline
in your Honda will affect
performance and damage its
emission controls. Unleaded
gasoline may not be available in
other countries. If you are
planning to take your car outside
the U.S. or Canada, write to
Honda at the address shown for
information about any
modifications your car may need.
Be sure to include the year and
