Our civics use what... 7.5/5.5 liters? If gasoline is going to reach a dollar a liter for bronze.. I hope you're ready to spend a lot more on gasoline.

You'll end up filling up premium on your Type S engine... you'll get like 500 km a tank if you're lucky.
With the D17 engine, you'll be getting 700 km per tank if you're lucky. That's 200 km difference. Not to mention a full tank of 50 liters will cost you $5 each time.

Over 3500 km... Assuming a dollar a liter and running right down to the petro fumes... your D17 will cost you $250 of gasoline. ($50 x 5 fillups)

Over 3500 km... Assuming a dollar a liter for bronze and running down to the petro fumes... Your K20A2 will cost you $385 of gasoline. ($50 + $5 [premium is 10 cents more than bronze] x 7 fillups)

That is a difference of $135.

Over a course of 100000 km. You can save yourself $3847.50 in gasoline. (This assumes the price does not exceed or drop below $1/liter for bronze). If gas prices go to where they are in the UK.. $2 a liter... You're gonna spend $8000 extra on gasoline. I dunno about you.. but saving $4000 over a 4 year period (100000 km is usually 4 years of driving) can be put toward a nicer car than a Civic with a nice engine it.

You know what they say... You can only go as fast as the car in front of you

Just to make you aware... the RSX-S engine at high rpms.. I'm pretty damn sure uses TONNES more gas than what it's saying there.. I'd be pretty safe to say you'll be getting 400 km per tank if you're lucky That'll cost you $481.25 in gasoline (an added cost of $231.25 over 3500 km... an extra cost of $6607.14 over 100000 km). heh.

I'm not trying to flame you. I'm just trying to logic it out with you before you start helping the bottom line profits of the big oil companies.

Your civc isn't luxury by any means and if you hang w/girls impressed by a Non-Vtec Sohc at 4000RPM they must be in grade school. Now a B20/B16 Hybrid in a DelSol revving 9000RPM is sweet. I know of one.
