    I find that the Honda engines have to be revved to get the power/torque, whereas other manufacturers (incl. Toyota) has power down low in rev range (that is what matters in city driving and why I'm considering driving a diesel engine after somewhat disappointed with the Euro).

    you WILL get a slight increase in power from a higher octane fuel.. even without tuning the engine will create more power 'naturally' even just from the combustion process within the cyllinder.. if this was not the case we'd all be running 91RON at the track rather than high-octane 'race-fuel'

    all of the cars i've owned (honda or not) greatly benefit from a higher-octane fuel.. they too dont have special maps etc. i mean you go buy a stock Jazz VTi and drive it on 91 then fill her up with 98RON and feel the difference !! there's no special ECU tuning involved etc LOL

    as for the Aurion on 98RON, my bad if that's wrong, I was informed that the Aurion was making those figures on Premium 98.. I cant find any information to tell me which fuel the Aurion is using to get those figures but I definately know the Honda is on 91RON. IMO you're mad not to run premium on ANY modern Honda - even if it's 'tuned' for 91.. go the 98 !!

    but back to my other comment that 202Kw claimed from Honda is goin to mash other manufacturer's with the same figures ON PAPER..

    The Aurion makes 200kw on 91RON and 204kw on premium unleaded.


    Running on normal unleaded petrol, the 3.5-litre quad-cam V6 produces its 200kW at 6200rpm and has a torque peak of 336Nm at 4700rpm. Power rises to 204kW on premium unleaded, and the ADR 81/01 fuel consumption rating sits at 9.9L/100km when using top-shelf fuel.

    I've tested the Aurion before and it was bloody quick.. I mean it's not a sports car but feels almost like one. Overtaking capability was the most impressive.. Cruising at 80kph and needs to speed up to 120? Just put yr foot down and hold the steering wheel tighttttt

    My boss has the Aurion hair dresser pack version but, yes, it goes like a shower of soft brown "meteorites" (can we say the "s" word?). And it's reasonably economical. Can't wait to try the V6 Accord.

    Depending on what you had for lunch, it's not always brown

    Thats the Fuel consumption showing on my Aurion last night with just average driving.


    But I have a happy right foot, so in reality, at the end of a tank, its typically between 10~11l/100km.

    we took ours down to lorne average was 7.8.

    i still think the aurion is a great car but is still a boring fleet car. the accord interior is so much better on the eye!
    im not biased, i just tell it how it is.
