87 here.
If you are in the US, that is what is specified. In tother parts of the world with a different measuring system it calls for 91 pon I believe.
So your mechanic knows more than the engineers at Honda that designed it?
Interesting
All I can say is old wives tales are difficult to purge..

All I can say is old wives tales are difficult to purge.. Ferret is absolutely correct higher octane will also soot up your cat converter. After reading this thread. I now know why I have such a difference from station to station
I forgot about the water absorbing ethanol. I have noticed that some of these stations I visit have water sitting around after a hard rain while others don't. I'm willing to bet if I used the stations that have no sitting rain water could make a big difference. At least in my situation. Thanks everybody I have a much better understand of the problem and how to correct!
