I've got a guy you can ask, lol. I'd tell you the story (it's pretty funny), but I don't think it's appropriate.

As far as the four banger making 6hp off 93, I'm with you on that Texas. I didn't notice any sort of gains when I loaded up 93 a few times in a row, but then it's an 01 automatic so dunno if it applies.

2. ALL 6th gen V6 accords make LESS power when you use higher octane fuel (refer to C&D Nov 01 issue) you will loose 4whp and it will add .5sec to your 0-60 times due to the loss of 15ft/lbs of torqe in the low-mid rpm range.
I dont beleive that.

i could believe it because the power an engine produces is based on the compression of the cylinders and if they arent high compression you wont get the benifits of a higher octane fuel

Bottom line:

Best mileage = No ethanol - regular 87.


Believe it or not.

yep youll get the best mileage off the least amount of timing which occurs with the lowest grade of fuel
