But 91 Octane isn't premium, 91 octane is only standard unleaded. The B16A2 needs at least premium unleaded because of the high compression. Besides, even if the premium fuel is 10c/L more and you use 2000L/year, thats only an extra $200. Be kind to your sol! :p

dont ever add octane booster or any such clensing item to your fuel... if you wanna clean your fuel system out, get it done professionally or use optimax as its got all that crap in it but more refined.

I put a booster in my car and fould my plugs... 3 times.

whats the best 98 to use? optixmax, synergy 8000 or BP ulitmate.

theres no one best fuel... its what works best with your car, but it seems B16a's run better on Ultimate.

Seeing as my '90 SiR is rated for 98 octane, the big 3's 98 is all that goes in it. Given that the EK4 VTiR's B16A is an ancestor of my gen 1 B16A, I'd be guessing premium is the only way to go to protect the motor.

I found that the Synergy 8000 was nicest - but I use Optimax as I can get the 4c discount with Coles dockets :D

Yep, gotta use those Coles dockets :p

gee dont even worry about it. Fried your on the ball, drive it any way you want or have to . B16a2 in an EK should have a knock sensor since its an OBDII. it will detect any Knocking and retard the timming. no problems what so ever. even with out a knock sensor, you think everyone with a VTiR uses Premuim,(although they should) Honda would see alot more dead engines if what you guys are saying is right. this has been accounted for by design.
