I put 100 octane gas in my car yesterday and it was pulling a lot harder, i noticed the difference and i felt the car jerk a lot when it was shifting. I would get it more often but it expensive. Does it really make u go faster or am i just imagining things?

 

Not sure! They don't sell 100 octane gas around here!

Our cars are manufactured for 87 octane. That's all I use.

 

octane ratings in gas varies in states
cali you may purchase 87 but your car may really only see 82 the rest is alchole additives and detergents cali is the worst state for gas
our cars being designed for 87 because of lower compression and midler timing so if youve advanced the timing you may notice more with higher octane

oh yeah and higher octane is jsut more lube in the gas so it may run smoother hence alittle extra speed but that is it
remember the old cars needed lead in gas because they didnt have hardened seats in the heads (lead was a lube) but now you have hardened seats so the lube is not needed but higher compresions or advanced timming you will need the lube
higher octane is less cumbustable than lower octane so you dont get ping more oil make sence

also how much of a push are you guys noticing with vtec i really dont knwo it and i still have a completly stock 97 cl 2.2

 

sunoco, home of 94 octane

 

i use 91, best we have here and i feel as if I accelerate much better than with 87. but it could be me. definetly a noticable difference in my opinion.

 

Things sure are different in Cali!!!
100 Octane gas? I had no idea there is such a thing.

 

I live in Cali, and I haven't seen 100 octane gas before. The best I put in was 92, but now it's 91.

 

Man....down here we have Moroso and I heard you can get 100+ octane gas...Its use for drag racing only. What I've done is get 93 gas and put a bottle of nos or any other octane booster product....it works for me....+ the venom it makes a difference...even my friends notice it....

 

There is one station in my town that sell 100 octane. It is the only place to pick up gas for race people race cars. i dont know about putting it in a CL though.

 

where the hell did you go to buy 100 octane gas? is there somewhere in your city you can actually pump 100 octane. i live in jax, fl the highest you can pump here is 93.

 

76 stations in california sometimes have 104 and it is measured on a differant rating thatn ragular gas in cali and it turns about 101- 102 in the engine and that is not bad for your engine at all means you can advance your timming a bit more


ALSO PEOPLE HOW MUCH OF A KICK ARE YOU NOTICING FROM VTEC I DONT NOTICE IT AT ALL I THINK MY ACTUATOR IS OUT yes i was yelling lol
