Posting this in the technical forum, rather than appearance, may get you more responses. I'll be nice and move it for you.

There is no need to use all capital letters. That will cause people to ignore you for being rude. As you can see, the forum turns all but the first letter to lowercase anyway... and then it just looks stupid.

As for your car... what do you have to require higher octane gas? (where is there 92? I know of 93 and 91...) Do you have a high compression motor? Turbo? Supercharger? If not, the high octane does nothing. It may even cause damage. 87 is what the stock Accord engines are designed for, and that is all you need to put in them until you do something drastic.

once the car is running, never run it again on anything about 87. once in like 10-15k run like 1/4 of a tank of 93 to clean up the motor for any dirty particals in the motor. but seriously with over 5 months of running higher octane, my accord still drives the same on 87 and 91-92. so even if you have money, run only 87 until you start building.


btw and please drop the caps. its annoying reading it.

well since you been running 91 for a while the chemicals in the 91 are different than 87. you car just has to adjust back to the 87. after you run 93, if theres a sonoco or citgo and full up on like 10 bucks. and see how it runs. anything other than those their gas usually sucks.

How can 93 octane be bad for the car?

[1990Ex]

rough yea funny was the only word i could come up with

How can 93 octane be bad for the car?

93 aint bad. if you run 87 once then 93 and back to 87, the car will drive funny. 93 is more richer gas then 87. bacically i call it carburator cleaner, cus it cleans nice and the motor runs good on it.

my mother runs 93 in her 97 an aint had no problems i think my girl got the gas from some cheap run down gas station in the woods lol
