What can you afford to put in it regulary? I use Premium with a octane boost in my prelude. I notice a deffinate difference between them. We got a station here with a 110 pump $5 a gallon.

Those accords run fine on 87 and you wont see any benefit from running extra. The v6s benefit from premium by advancing the timing a bit automatically.

No gas station sells 110 octane. Alright, thanks.

Second, yes. If you have an 03+ Accord V6 (J30A4) premium gas will advance timings to allow for +10hp and +10ft/tb-tq.

the most i've seen is 94octane.

110 is basically rocket fuel

At certain gas stations ive seen 105, to get 110 you have to go to a performance shop where they manually siphon it out of a barrel in the back.

105 is basic high-valve.

some places in the middle fo no-where still stock 105/ 110 suprisingly (tho they have to sate that they both are leaded to all hell)
