ALWAYS 93. I used to put in 94 but the station that had it no longer does. -JoeB

93 in my I4.

Probably doesnt need it, but it cant hurt.

Like i said, V6 is a premium engine, If you dont put in premium in older engines, it can misfire and knock. On newer engines, i believe it just throttles down the max output to prevent knock so your not running at full potential of the engine.

87. Its not a performance car, and I dont intend it to be unless theres heavy mods. And I need my money more than those arab scumbags do.

93 always. even tho it can take 89 i put 93 even if the increased performance is minimal

always 93 because i still use my moms credit card
and there is the slightest difference in throttle response

Crap...I been doing 83 and thought it was ok. 87 is still good right? 93 cost too much and I cant afford that kind mula.

Haha you guys need to do like what my friend and I did to this old CRX hatch...93 octane gas 3 gallon mixed with 1 gallon R/C nitro fuel. Car ran like a 4 banger on mini NOS haha and it actually cleans the motor too becuase nitro fuel is really clean and its part oil. Car FLEWWWW haha.

Haha Maybe one day when the car is coming toward its day. Its still nitrous and on a V6, thats allot of power and BOOM and BOOM. The CRX was a trash car from a wreck and we wanted to put it out of its life. It still runs haha with 200,000 miles on it.
