either 87 or 89 (whateva the cheap stuff is) cuz all accords were built to run the same on any grade gas so why send the extra cash. i just get a injector cleaner every few fill ups

History Channel did a show about gasoline. they are all the same act exept for the imported gas Co.s - Shell & BP; Texaco is the best for US but they got bought by Shell. the difference is that cleaning agent & how it is refined, even gas in winter is different than in summertime. so buy Shell/Texaco, or British Petroleum if in your area.
haven't ya'll learned yet, everything imported is better quality - even the gasoline & oil; yet 60% of our oil is from OPEC.

& i was already corrected about Amoco & BP. Mobil is joined w/ Exxon already & so many other Co.s are under the Rockefellers of American Standard Oil Co. let me put it this way, i used Diamond Shamrock/Total 87 oct. for over a year. i put in 1 tank of 87 Texaco (partners w/ Shell) & it ran like 93 & a fresh oil change by the middle of 2nd tank; i was at my 4K mile interval, BTW. a few different ppl say they had family work for Shell in the past & say it's the best (but i never really paid attention until the History Channel show) & a couple turbo guys i know only put in Texaco or Philips 66. bottom line, i will only use Texaco/Shell until something else changes my mind.

Anyways they did the 6gen accord which proved the above quote.
They also compared/tested other cars but accord was like the only that LOST power (very minimal tho) but basically, why waste money? HONDA makes the most gas efficient cars! I think the 6gen accord is the only V6 that can run on regular. (i think my manual says 86 is ok...but we only have 87 in kali)
Usually luxery cars uses premium and FI cars need premium but thats about it.
