87. It's been proven that higher octane degrades performance in 6th gen accords. 91. Our ECU doesn't compensate like the 7th gen does, so use exactly what your manual tells you, 87.

BTW, the 7th gens actually advance timing based on octane? Makes me even more jealous of the K series motors

10hp is what was quoted, no dyno test yet but track times seem to be lower with premium. It's only with the V6(J30) not the i4 and the K20 as far as I know...

darn it, I can't find the plot, but C&D also did the 2003 Av6, the plot they had went from 240 stock chp with 87 octane to 252hp with 91octane. I'll keep digging, I know it's around here somewhere.
