4cyl? With this much power?

I am still amazed by how this accord feels. I can't believe it's only 4cyl. Gave it a little more gas than usual today and holy cow. And dual exhaust doesn't sound too bad either. Loving this car more and more everyday.

Put some premium gas in the car and it will go like a rocket ship.

I don't believe in premium unless the car was designed for it.

I always use premium. I know it doesn't need it but it makes me feel like I'm treating the engine nicely. The extra 200 a year will still be much less than I spent on gas for my jeep. Can't wait for an intake to give a few my hp. Loving my sport!

Just realize you are not treating your engine "nicely" - it's a neutral move, not bad or good, but it's certainly your call....

intake shows no sign of HP unless you put ur car on dyno and get your car setting proper for the intake. which means taking it to a shop

What do you mean unless I get it tuned? I put a nismo intake on my spec v and could feel that it added a few hp and a more sensitive throttle. As far as premium gas, isn't it more refined? Just trying to learn.

Put jet fuel and you would go like a rocket, j/k. The car won't benefit from filling it with premium. You will just be wasting your money.

no - read the links above and make google your friend...On your car its a waste of money.

www.toptiergas.com - gas does not get "better" if you buy premium
