That was really hard to read.....

But any ways, octane isn't really about the performance level of gas. It determines how volital(flamable) the gas is. If it is too volital on a high compression engine, the gas will pre-ignite Before the cylinder gets to TDC. Causing somewhat of a bang refered to as pinging. A knock sensor is desinged to combat this, they can only compensate much. Unless your engine is modified, You should just use what Honda recommends.

If that doesn't answer your question, Its your fault for typing like that.
