I just moved from Washington to SC and every gas station i have stopped by has 91 octane, where in WA i was always using 92.

 

highest pump anywhere in cali is now 91 unless you go to these following places where 100 is sold at the pump

yoshi - who hasn't noticed any diff on his stock ITR

 

Thats terrible, we have 94 octane up here

 

that does it!! im moving to Canada!

O canada, o canada!!

 

94 in NY but then you cant own a type R.

 

you arent going to notice 1 octane

 

You shouldn't really notice a difference. I put 92 in once instead of 93 and never noticed anything. I usually buy Shell or Chevron and that's all 93 around here.

 

Where in WA are you from? I used to live in Factoria/Bellevue.

 

probobly is, I have an si and I have run it on 87 octane for two years now and it has ran without a hitch, and compression checks out fine too... not an ounce of power lost... but then again its a civic and I could care less. btw the car now has 94,000 miles on it, and is a 99 si coupe.

Now if it was an itr and had 20 extra hp to worry about and a higher compression then I would put the 91-92 octane in it... I would not be worried about your engines at all unless you are running some serious power boosting **** like toda b's or high compression pistons... if you have a stock blocked car and head then you have nothing to worry about.

Mind you people live thier life by the honda service manual and think that it is a sin to put anything less than race gas in a car that isnt so racy... no offense.

Hey! Alberta sucks for that....we just have 92 Octane....in Toronto, we could get 94 Octane..

I was in BC a few days ago, and this one chevron had 96 Octane!! Fokk!!

 

I don't even notice a diff from 91 to 94 when street driving.

 

I notice the air temperature a lot more. Feels like a different car!

 

hey sort of on the same topic... For Anyone in the vancouver area.. on my way home,(to Abbotsford) when i passed the gas station down the street there were hella cars.. when i looked at the gas price... 54.7cents per liter!!!!!!! I almost **** my pants! the gas hasnt been that low for years!

 

Not sure about Type-R's, and I have never read a "Type-R" owners manual (But I think it is the same as my GSR). Anyway, in my manual it says the lowest grade that you can go to is 91, so don't worry, you will be fine. And you won't notice any difference at all.

True, when it is cold in the morning, my car feels quicker than at mid day when I leave work to go pick up lunch. In other words, you will notice your car react more to the air temperature than a difference of "1" octane point.

96?? Holy smokies, that's high. You guys should run on C12

 

I used to live in Whidbey Island, near Bellingham, now I am living in SD, near the Airport.

 

Don't know if it's such a good idea! hehe... We have 94 here regularly available, but it's "enriched" with MTBE. Not such a good additive if you ask me. Seems like people in Canada are getting worse mileage than the US conterpart.

As for noticing 91-92, you won't notice one single thing. Even if you go 94 and don't raise compression keeping it stock, you still won't notice anything.

 

Or two for that matter...

 

i fill
91
92
94

whichever is available or whatever fits my budget at that time

 

That's why I like to drive at night! Vrroooommm......
