If I use a metal seat post on a carbon fiber bicycle, do I need to grease it?

Do not use grease, best to use a carbon compound paste like FSA, Ritchey, or Finish Line makes.

This stuff is all pretty much the same, but the best value out there is the Tacx Dynamic Assembly Paste. It is sold in 80 gram jars for $20-25, versus paying $5-8 for a 5 gram package of Ritchey paste. Forum sponsor Competitve Cyclist has the Tacx stuff and one jar will last many years:
