[QUOTE="shiroitenshi, post: 1063335658, member: 27518"] this is the time when you find that having a standalone is good. Can always retune to run ron95 without the brooop sound. :P Anyway, if fuel prices go up somemore, who knows? maybe I can buy supercharger/turbocharger kit for cheap as people sell off theirs.. hahaha.. Californians have been running 91octane for years for their turbos (they use AKI, also known as PON, (Ron/mon)/2, etc), not RON rating like Malaysia. so 91 octane for them is like 95RON for Malaysia.) They even have our old 92RON fuel, which they rate as 87 octane Here's a discussion of it. http://hondaswap.com/reference-materials/us-octane-vs-other-countries-octane-ratings-59435/ So why worry? It's not like it's 91-92RON like a few years ago.. just tune to new fuel.. and don't push the ignition so high.. I think for N/A,. horsepower losses will be minimal (since we don't make 300+hp anyway) for turbos, I expect the losses to be higher.. Hey, I tried running 95 octane last time when not all petrol station carry them. [/QUOTE]
