The reason why it leaves more deposites then regular gas is because not all of it gets burned because the compresion doesn't let it burn hot enough. I mean it's not going to harm your mnotor in anyway it's just a waste of money. You can fill you DX with 94 octaine and it will run normal as it would on 87.
With no added benifets. Doesn't protact andything in anyway.

And the reasoning that cars that take a higher octaint last longer, Is because cars that call for a higher octaine useally are cars of a higher grade then the lower end beaters IE: Civics,corolas, Focus and that such. Well thats my reasoning anyway.

I dont know i could be wrong[/b]

i see, u def do have a good point and i def understand where ur coming from. i dunno im still gonna use premuim tho. been using it in the teg since i got it and it just seems to run better than when i had the si and i was running that on midgrade. plus it only runs me like a dollar or two more a fill so its all good with me.

i dunno like i said im not arguiing with u and u bring up a great point, it just seems that these days running a lower end car with good gas can only benefit you in the long run. it just something that ran over from my dad to me and like i said it only costs me a couple of extra dollars a fill so im cool. either way its all good.

Not true, Using high octain on say an LS NA motor would be pointless. It give no benfits at all and it will leave carbon deposites everywere.

Not true. Advanced timing requires use of 91 octane to prevent detonation. So would using internals that create a higher compression ratio. But, a stock LS with stock timing won't see any benefits to using anything over 87.

lol its true!!!

i say go with a b18 gsr if you got the cash. if not just go out and get and ls motor, and swap a vtec head on. then go out and get urself a lsd and ur set.[/b]

Not to bust your balls man, but ls/vtec isn't just as easy as "slapping" a vtec head on a non vtec block. IMO it wouldn't be a good motor for a beginner in the honda scene with now expeirence. Yes ls/vtec kicks ass, but it has to be done right, and if you do it right it's most likely going to cost as much as a gsr motor or more.

yea no i understand and i wasnt trying to say hey just thro on a vtec head. but at the same time im not gonna sit here and explain it detail to detail. and for it not being a great idea cuz it has to be done right thats the reason i didnt do it, its just not worth it for me but i was just lettin him know of some options.

Might cost as much as a GSR, but it'd be built.

plus you're going to want that higher octane when boosting, less chance of detonation
