Go to www.accordv6.com and go to the 7th generation Accord section. It's one of the stickies.

Anything north of 92-93 Octane is just waste of money ... dman it I paid $4.5/Galon for 104 Unleaded Racing fuel and did nothing the performance of the car in 1/4 mile run!!

thats a link to an article where the cheif engineer is quoted at saying "more horsepower". www.vtec.net new about this and waited till the regular gas their accord came was finished, before doing a dyno on premium. here's the result of the dyno, showing TLS/CLS power:

an identical dyno was also done by injen:

Finally, I have tested my '03 accord coupe v6 on regular and premium, and there is a BIG difference with premium. oddly enough it also burns less gas on premium!

104 octane. Dam I only get 103. But ur right it is just a waste of money. But when on the bottle it is extra insurance.
