94 octane?

k someone said that putting 94 octane in a stock civic is bad for it. obviously it prob isn't worth the extra cash but why would it be bad for it....

It might not be a problem for our cars, but it's possible too high an octane can foul your plugs, combustion chamber, etc.

Stick with 87.

how do you figure 94 would foul plugs etc? all 94 does to a stock civic is lighten your wallet.

The higher the octane over what is needed, the higher the risk of getting an incomplete burn.

if you weren't getting a complete burn you'd know cause tiny amounts of gas should come out your tailpipe. that is what i am told by a friend who owns a stang. He says he runs very rich and has this problem.? but i dunno. i'll just keep running 94 as my speed juice and pretend it's giving me 10horse. kinda like stickers
