[QUOTE=Wisconsin S2k]No you are correct, it wasn't just cruising on the highway. I think I'm understanding your statement about that. I definitely agree about the heavier acceleration. The scored cylinder was caused by detonation though. There was no oil leak, or any other indication that something else caused the scored cylinder.
so yeah, freeway cruising conservative driving is far less likely to cause detonation, and I understand your point there.

Are Octane number and RON the same figures?
Our regular petrol is 95RON, with our Super (Premium) is 97 or 98RON.

Your owner's manual for your local market will give you the RON rating recommendation.

gas of all types is not always available when traveling, so over time i have used regular in all my cars that call for premium, yet to see any problems. i am not arguing with theory here or statistics, just experience.
i am yet to run regular in my honda, but if i need to i will not hesitate, i will just put in what i need to get to the next opportunity and then fill with premium. i think that approach is a practical real world one to go by.

I'm never planning to get rid of my S2k. I plan on keeping it forever, so having pity on a buyer for it used really holds no water. And with 78k miles of 87 on it and no problems, I hav eno worries that 87 is bad for it, if it was, something would of happened by now, especially since almost everytime I drive it I wind it up to 9k.
who are you to say if I deserve this car or not? just because you are a fellow s2k owner, that doesn't give you any right to say what I deserve or not.

You do realize that when you go up to 9,000 RPM with 87 octane, you're basically robbing yourself of about 30 to 50 HP?
The ECU in this car freaks out with 87 octane. It'll run just fine, but it retards the timing so much that you might as well not even bother revving it over 5,000 RPM.
