OP, you do realize our cars require premium gas, right? it says so right on the fuel door.
use 91 if you have to, but 93 if you can. don't use 87.
i use shell V POWAR 93 bc V POWAR is V TEC.

Same, I won't get gas unless the station offers 93 (my normal joint is a Raceway/Sunoco since they offer 93 and like 100, I believe, its some higher octane). I have never once put below 93 in my TL-S.

all our local stations stopped carrying 93 octain right when I bought my TL. Only option for me now is 91.We even had 94 available at a few places. right when about everybody locally had thier cars tuned with it, they took it away, lol. Now everybody has thier shit tuned with e85 and theres only 2 pumps left locally...dissapearing fast. Glad i didnt bother converting.

As for injector cleaner, I think it's a waste as long as your running detergent gasoline. I had a look down the oily/dirty grimmy intake runners of my wife's V6 Pilot. Everything past the injectors was SPOTLESS. Not a spec of grime on the backs of those valves.
Chevron 91 for my TL.

Doing a valve adjustment on her Pilot this evening/tomorrow. I'm gonna try my best to get a shot of the ports & valves. It really was astonishing. I tried my damnedest to get it last time when I cleaned the manifold, but I suck at using my wife's Nikon SLR.

A lot of people think they can get away with it (putting in medium or low grade) but to me it's not worth it, and apparently to the rest of this community. And honestly, putting in premium isn't that much more expensive. If you have 30 people advising against it, you're more likely to listen to them.
