HMM..... Traction Control System....
I think the only thing you need to understand what it means is Traction. You know what traction is right?
Basically control the amount of power at the wheels to keep them from spinning out, thus loosing traction.

So it's constantly pulling the timing on the lower octanes and that's okay for the life of the car? Otherwise I don't see how it could automatically perform better on premium. Never heard of a car that's able to sense the higher octane. Would be cool if was true, though.

I agree... I had ot tell mine that the 4 cylinder EX I bought had a 5 speed tranny. I counted the shifts... then checked the window sticker. What a retard. He didn't even know the best selling features of the car.

I just bought a 2005 EX V6 sedan with AT. The manual says to use regular gas 86 I believe, so the service centers around town tell me it’s ok to use 85 (no 86 in Denver, altitude thing). I also heard if you use 91, which could be considered too rich, you can damage your engine, especially your 02 sensors or something? I’m kind of a newbie when it comes to car performance. But will this HP increase work w/ AT sedans or is only for the manual transmission coupes? The way gas prices are, my accord is plenty quick, and don’t think I would justify more gas money for only 10hp increase.
