Does the 1984 Honda Civic CRX need premium gas?
Every trim takes regular — no premium needed.
| Trim (engine / transmission) | Fuel | MPG | Fuel/yr |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.3L 4-cyl, 5-spd manual | REGULAR | 41 | $1,500 |
| 1.3L 4-cyl, 5-spd manual | REGULAR | 39 | $1,600 |
| 1.5L 4-cyl, 5-spd manual | REGULAR | 30 | $2,100 |
| 1.5L 4-cyl, 5-spd manual | REGULAR | 30 | $2,100 |
| 1.5L 4-cyl, Automatic 3-spd | REGULAR | 27 | $2,300 |
| 1.5L 4-cyl, Automatic 3-spd | REGULAR | 26 | $2,400 |
The EPA records the fuel each version was tested on. Whether premium is strictly required or just recommended is an owner's-manual detail the EPA dataset doesn't include — so we don't guess it.
