Whats a saving of $200 bucks a year compared to replacing the whole engine. The manual says high octane premium unleaded gas only. I would rather pay the extra $5.00 dollars at the pumps than worry about my engine.

You could always drive below 3k rpm. about 65-70mph. Then the evo will get 26mpg.

Holy crap, you're running and EVO in Bangladesh? Are there a lot of evos out there? Do you get crazy attention?
