so lemme ask this

i have been using 93 for over a year now close to 2 years.
if for one time i switch to 87 will everything be ok ?

 

yes.

 

I used to only put 92 in my honda, asked about it here.

I recently filled up with 87 instead and I swear my car is happier.

(thanks guys)

 

the how come all honda manual says use 87 or higher ?

 

87 is the minimum octane level required for the engine.

**IMPORTANT**

You only need to meet the minimum octane requirements for the engine. Putting in fuel with an octane rating that is HIGHER than the minimum is NOT going to help you. It will only hurt you unless you manually advance the ignition timing of your engine to compensate for the different characteristics of the higher octane fuel.

 

Wow, 1998 with only 19K on it? And I thought my 1999 with 24,827 on it was low.

 

higher octane also means the gas is cleaner u know

 

no, the cleanliness of the fuel depends on where your gasoline is bought, Chevron, Shell, Mobil, 76, etc.

 

Octane level and cleanliness are two totally separate things.
