Rep Power: 0 i've never read anything about 93 octane messing up a car. even a honda civic.
i don't drive very fast either. IMO actually i can't see or feel a difference in the different gas wether i'm using 87 or 93 octane. my car is doing fine. nice and quiet. perzz like a kitten. sometimes i can't even tell if it's on or not LOL. it doesn't even shake lol.

Rep Power: 0 ok thats weird that you guys aren't getting good MPG on your cars when using premium gas. i've been using premium 93 gas since i've bought my civic. my car runs excellent on 93 premium octane gas. even my car's manual says that i can put higher octane gas in my car. is says i could put 87 or higher in my car. and alot of people say to use the 93 octane gas cause it's good gas but people don't use it cause it's expensive. everytime i get gas, it's from mobil. i've been using mobil gas for like almost a full year. about almost the WHOLE time i've had my civic. i don't know why you guys had rough idleing with your cars but my car is perfect on 93 octane gas. maybe it's cause it's MOBIL gas?

Rep Power: 0 ok thats true. but it's better quality gas and it's cleaner and more pure gas. my cars manual DOES infact say that i can put a higher octane gas in my car. so a year ago i had to make sure i could put a higher octane in my gas tank. and 10 months later so far, i've been putting 93 octane. i haven't put anything lower than 93 octane in my car for almost a year now. actually i think a year cause i've had my civic for about 15 months now but i didn't start putting 93 octane gas untill i had the car for about 3 months. so yeah. i'd say i've been putting 93 premium octane gas in my car for a whole year and it's been normal. and i just started using mobil synthetic oil and mobil oil filters like 4 or 5 months now. my car is loving it.

If you don't think Honda OEM filters are made by Fram, all you have to do is look on the filter. You know... the place where it says "Manufactured by Fram." In fact if you look really close at the second picture I posted, you can even see where it says Manufactured by... and you can kind of make out the Fr of Fram. I think the new ones says Made by Honeywell... here's a secrest, Honeywell=Fram
And yeah, some cars don't do well with cardboard drainbacks. Mainly cars with high oil pressure.... like say a car with a turbo. So EVO + Fram = bad, so surprise. But for a normal civic... it works fine, never heard of a civic failing becuase of that.
---------------------------
Tis true... 93 octane will not help your car in ANY way shape or form. It will make it faster though.... because your wallet will weigh less

Rep Power: 0 no i don't keep track of my MPG. but all i know is i don't get gas often cause my car doesn't drink alot of gas. and as far as the gas lines having their own pumpline and gas gun, yes. at the mobil station down the street from where i live here in florida. this mobil gas station has 3 seperate gas lines at each gas stand. green is the 87 octane normal, blue is the 93 octane super, and red is the 89 octane special. in that order. green 87, blue 93, red 89. and i always use blue, 93 baby!. the 93 octane gas here in florida is about 250 to 264 or so. yeah, it's pricey. when i fill my gas tank up from it being on the halfway mark of the gas meter on the dash. it costs me like 16,50 to 17 dollars. i'm cool with that though. i don't drive around much. just to work and back. relaxed! going about 60 to 65 or 70 MPH at the most. i usually do 60 MPH with my car. like i said b4. i don't speed much. i drive to last baby. besides. why drive my civic Ex if it's not even modded? LOL. don't wanna look like an ***. the ONLY time people look at me when i'm driving (in what looks like some type of admiration) is when it's all clean and waxed to a T!. *bling bling**
