Throttle response IS better because the ignition timing is different

 

yep

 

The highest octane I've found in my area is Chevron at 92. If I could find a brand name gas station selling premium with a higher octane level in my area, I would use it. Its only a few bucks more at fill up and its worth it for the peace of mind it gives me.

 

they dont have a bp or shell in your area ??

 

Not in Medford.

Best bet is 76 there.

 

Are European and American S2K's different?

In Holland Honda recommends we use 98 octane fuel. 95 is the lowest we can get and it's seriously not recommended.

I'd always get the highest octane fuel available.

 

Our cars have been engineered to use 91 octane AT LEAST...so use 91 (or higher if you have it)

 

Wow you guys are lucky, in CA all we get is 87, 89, and 91 @ the highest other than racing fuel.

 

76 wtf????

 

Not 76 octane. He means a gas station called 76
