Nothing would happen. You would be paying more money for gas that probably won't help your stock civic.

 

octane does not give you horsepower, it allows you to make more by resisting detonation. it will actually take horsepower because it is slower to burn.

You want to use the lowest octane you can without the motor running like crap or knocking basicly.

Funny you should mention that because when I was in tech school we did a dyno test using my accord and different octsne fuels. I made more power with higher octane, it wasn't much but still more. It is not really a slower burn either, it just combusts at a higher temperature.

I was also able to achieve better gas mileage with 93 octane when compared to 87.

Exactly. Get 87 octane. You have a Civic, not a Ferrari.

 

Fill up with alcohol

Do you ever post anything worth while? Every post I see is you talking **** on someone.

I can only imagine doing this if you had a boosted motor that was built and you were taking it to the track.

 

you would have to be runnin high compression as well. I have a 2000 si and th ec/r is 10.2:1 and i found 91-92 is best for me

 

isnt 110 leaded?

or do they make it unleaded too

Nothing less than 93 touches my gas tank, besides whats another $3-$4 a fill up?

I was just being a dick Anyhow, leaded fuel won't just affect your cat...it'll **** other **** up (like O2 sensors), too!
