Thanks. I was just a little concerned about the choice of gas that I used. But come to find out that the gas i used is A-Ok USA. (yeah corny fob saying. Couldnt resist.):)

RE: Regular or Premium
 

To be specific 87 octane! How's that?

RE: Regular or Premium
 

AMEN!

Well I guess 92 is good enough for this girl.... I dont think its such a good idea to switch. (so i have heard) Thats what i fed the baby and thats what she is going to continue to get. :)

hell yea sexy your absolutely right....244 hp....your car rips. you car is designed to run on all fuels 87 octane and up. you have a detonation sensor in your car....also called the knock sensor. if the sensor detects a low grade of fuel (which is usually hand in hand with detonation) the computer will retard the timing......making it easier for the engine to fire the air fuel mixture......and reducing horsepower. when the sensor detects a high grade/high octane fuel, it checks itself.....advancing the timing, which will increase hp...so basically if i had your car it wouldnt get anything BUT top tier premium fuel, and in az our top tier stations are chevron, shell, and QT.

You need to be aware that 92 octane burns slower than 87. This can cause carbon deposits in the cylinders and on the pistons & rings in the long term.......not desirable.
The extra 20 cents a gallon you are paying yields no benefit (except for your "feelgood" factor) and can actually cause problems down the road. You asked for advice and choose to ignore it which is your prerogative. It's your car and your pocketbook, which I respect, but why spend more for no gain and possible harm when you are concerned about the longevity of your car?

The engine horsepower was rated with 87 octane fuel, why try to second guess Honda engineers that developed the powerplant?
