where the hell do you purchase 115 octane? Most ive seen is 100 octane from 76 and its like $4/gallon.

no
it will make your car run a SHITLOAD worse

octane is a measure of how hard it is for gas to combust, the higher the number the slower it burns. a street car should run the lowest octane it can without detonating. run whatever it says in the manual.

Premium is the HIGHEST any street honda should run. 100 is for street racers like 13 or more compression ratio. Dude, 115 Octane is for ****** dragsters and ****. No street car would run on 115. DOn't put that in your car man.
