sugar works pretty well. a couple spoon fulls should boost your octane rating up to about 96.54 if you are using 89 octane gas.

toluene, xylene, terpentine, moth *****, sugar

the best way I would think is to go down to an automotive store and buy a 5 gallon can of 110 octane and proportion it with the premim gas to get a higher octane rating

I remember that thread, pretty good april fools joke, it made me wonder if some people are completely retarded by thinking that would work

but seriously, get some race gas and mix it into your car every time you fill up

how can you run safley 91 octane by tuning it by hondata?....the combustion chamber is still going to be really hot, so you need a cooler gas regardless

on a ls/vtec you dont need to tune it to run safely on 91, the compression is at 11:3, as for a gsr it's 13:1

to much compression for 91 octane fuel........stop driving until you get it tuned or just ping the **** out of it until it blows up......
