europe has higher octane gas. Also US has to cater to the piss they have in cali.
thought I remember Euro 95 = US 93 or 91, something like that.

Love the look of the seat back. Man, my kids are going to be so pissed when they find out there is no wide screen dvd monitor attached to the roof and will have to stare out the window for entertainment on our north GA mountain drives. They wouldn't be able to keep their head steady enough to watch anyways when I'm pull 1g in the corners. ;):headbang:

I know EU has higher fuel quality but this is the words of American Honda....

Even if it is different, you won't be able to get that power by putting higher octane fuel in your car. You will need to have EU software flashed in your engine control unit.
You'll have a larger safety margin running 93 though. So I'd say there's still a benefit to running 93 if your state has it available.

@typerfanboy282 it is the 100th time i see you calling one a lier or a dick . you are the one who swore your car will be on 28th of may now. btw it is none your car yet!! the dealership owns it they can do wtf they want. You are so pathetic and from an italian with not perfect english you have a a mind of 16 years old .. it is not high school anymore
You need to calm down and read , I said he would be a dick if he did that to someone's new car, and I did put money on my car it's mine I own it

&& I guess the guys saying that I'm wrong for saying that someone who revs and mistreats a brand new car would be considered a dick , I hope you all are okay with your car being ran on by the entire dealership

So you were wrong you're admitting...

I was just putting out all possibilities, I cited my source, and it seems to me, they are credible. but there is always a chance they are wrong.. But I did not see your source any where Mr.s all knowing.... What make you think you are right and I am wrong?

Yes there is, As top grade fuel usually have additive that helps reduce carbon build up, but you will not see any short term performance benefit

You just admitted the EU ECU is different. Why is that? Mapping is different to take advantage of the better EU fuel. Thus more HP in EU than USA. You said it was only a calculated difference correct?

not just that, for emissions reasons. It costs tens of million dollars to get an engine certified by the EPA.

Focus ST, Hyundia something like that....
Just got a quote, age was set at 28:

100/300 with 500/1k deductible.

2511.20 for 6 months...Monthly Payments of $423.54 each plus a 10$ lower one to start it off. Absolutely insane. Clean driving record, extremely low mileage per year (5k), etc. Two months for me is your whole year and then some.

Love South Florida...home of terrible drivers and insane insurance rates.
When I was in the Homestead area, had a L-82 Corvette and a Honda Accord LXI and I was paying every 6 months around $600 dollars. That was in 1980!
If I was just north of there the rate was double!
