on my prelude, in the owners manuel it said, use only premium gas. if i didnt i would trip a nock sensor and shit would happen. it went on to tell me if i ran low octain gas i would eventually ruin my motor. not a good thing. i always run premium on any car im driving. v-power is amazing stuff. i noticed a diference in gas millage and power when i switched from regular premium to v-power. go with v-power

I would have just filled up on 93 when I had the chance- just keep thinning out the 87 and you'll be fine.

I mostly run pretty much any major brand 93 octane gas in my car. Exxon, Shell, Chevron- any of those is fine.

No I can get that here in OH, but I have no need for it.

How many places have you seen where you can get sunoco 103? Not any in Va I have seen. So you might as well rule that out. Because that shit is rare.
