Im using 93 right now, anyone using lower and still getting same performance (about 21 street 25 hwy). Is it worth the extra 20 - 30 cents a gallon?

Higher octane is not always a goodthing.

87 is better for gas mileage and power on the 3.0 engine. There was a thread like this a while back, and someone from the accord 3.0 board had dyno charts that showed the power gains.
I use nothing but 87 now
