Test your mileage. My dad's civic got enough more mileage to make up for the increased price.

The higher the octane, the more resistant it is io predetonation, and the slower burning it is. Your car will run the best with the least amount of octane required.

I have a code that might help you

10145

It is supposed to be good until at least 10/21. Try it out and see if it works. If it does, you can thank me by telling me, so I can use it for VC gaskets.

You can have my KF if you can hydrolock a v-6 running at 2500 with a spray bottle. I just used the PCV valve hose to suck up water and then fuel injector cleaner this Saturday. Injector cleaners here smell just like rubbing alcohol, and the beast is in need of some cleaning. I will try to hydrolock ...

P.S. I would not consider using this for an NA application unless you are lacking the octane to run HI CR or N2O. I can say that periodically introducing water/seafoam/whatever through a vacuum hose will help you idle you car a little better, and might help reduce ping if you have some.
