Gas

[91hondacb7]

I was wondering does it even matter if i pump 91 gas in my cb7, because gas is getting damn to high and i see like bmw, lexus, benz pumping 87.

You can put 97, 89, 91, 93 it doesn't really matter, unless your car is tuned to have a specific octane

Should i be pumping 91 cause all i'm running is a h22 with some cam

I know F22a is 87. I always here H22 is premium (91-93 octane I assume, might be 93 only though).

[deevergote]

California has 91 as the highest.

And yes, with the H22, especially with mods, you should run 91. You should've known this before you even installed or modified the engine.

nah bought the car off my friend with all the mods he need to sell it so i pick it up, i also have a 92 cb7 which is just stock.

We also got 100 Octane at a few 76 stations. Like the one around the corner of my house, but at $7 a gallon i dunno if its worth it. Maybe Ill treat the car a tank on my bday.

"treating the car" does nothing... 91 octane or better is used for engines with high compression, forced induction, or an abnormally high redline. It's not "the good stuff"... it's just a different chemical composition. Fuel companies are rather misleading when the call it "premium". For a stock or near-stock F22A, 87 octane is just fine.


100 octane gas at roadside stations is fairly interesting...

Yeah , putting a higher octane on a stock you not give you any benefits at all. It will only make you give donations to the gas station.

If you say your car runs smoother just because you filled her up with a higher octane , then it's all in your head.

ahah that is true it all in your head if you think it running smooth.

[91hondacb7]

Oh well i guess i drive my stock one now since gas is a bitch and it take about 52buck to fill up my h22 accord

I disagree, you can run lower octane gas in your car. You will lose performance because your computer will compensate for the less knock resistance by retarding the timing, however. You won't get the full power out of the car, and all in all is not a good way to run the engine.

If you want to be cheap, though (like me), you just have to be conscious of your driving habits. You will avoid any problems by driving calmly, and then dropping some 93 in when you want to have fun

can you run Trick (125) in an accord?

Assuming the engine has a knock sensor. F22a doesn't and is rated for 87 anyways. And whenever I read/hear of octane tests for engines recommending 91+, they tend to lose enough MPG to make up the difference of the cheaper gas. Short version:RTFM

I don't notice a difference in mileage. I dunno. It works for me, so as they say: Your mileage may vary (literally!)
