Default Regular Gas vs. Superclean.

Any opinions on this. With the rising cost of gas, I hate paying skyrocketing prices for higher octane stuff. But do you think that its worth it? Or that itll keep my enigne performance smoother and such. Any comments are welcome.

10 cents more= $1.80 more each time you fill up (18 gallon tank)
most hondas have like 11 gallon so its like 1.10 more each fill up

WAY WORTH the extra price if you ask me
and NEVER use 'non brand' gas.. my mom's car wouldnt go over 60 and ran really horrible one day... she took it to a mechanic and they said it was bad gas...
i always put in chevron or 76... mostly chevron in my car

my dad used 91 octane chevron in his taurus SHO and when he pulled teh heads off the valves were really clean for the mileage

The gsr's require 91 or higher octain. the only one's you can get away with using 89 on is the ls,rs,gs due to the lower compreshion used.
