What octane fuel is recomended for a 01 stock 1.7 VTEC. The owners manuel says anything higher than 86 octane. Would it be worth it (performance wise/good running) puting in medium grade or high grade fuel?

if the manual says "anything higher than 86"

then you probably dont really have to put in anything more than 86

 

87 or 89 would be fine. Just stick to one type of gas tho

 

don't buy into the hype that the higher the octane the better the performance. just stick to the recommended octane and you'll be fine.

 

you will not benifit from running anything higher than 87

octane dosent mean power.

I agree. Follow the owners manual and use regular (87 octane). With the current price of gas, even regular is damn expensive.

 

y'all think regular would be fine in a stock b18b as well?
