- Wed Oct 12, 2011 3:44 am #277343 Hey guys/gals I got b16 (black head so I'm guessn a 95 si) engine and I'm wondering wat octane fuel I shuld use I've been using 87 but it jus recently hit me that I'm running at a high compression ratio (bieng that it's an si) so my question what do u put In your tank. I don't have any problems I just don't want that to be a cause of a new 1 . Thanks

I used 93 octane a few times on my b16 and i got terrible mpg's. I do agree though on Shell having the best quality gas. I use 89 octane Shell gas only. I also recommend to stop using the 87 octane, usually if you use that gas on b-series motors it causes a ping.

That's what I was told also, So yeah just to be safe do 91 Shell, even try 93 and see if there is any difference at all. Gas prices are a bitch these days.

Oh and Fresh, even though I said what I said about the editing thing, between you and cesash I hope you get ROTM. Good luck.

- Wed Oct 12, 2011 4:13 pm #277393 a b16 isnt really "high compression", i think they're what 10:1 or something?

anyway, Honda recommended "premium" so I'd run that. Whatever Premium is in your area (more than likely 91, 92 or 93).

A little piss ant like you isnt worth being banned over.

Yea he has a bad habit of being overly sarcastic.. .. at the wrong times..

- Wed Oct 12, 2011 11:30 pm #277471 As long as its not 87 you should be ok. Like I said I use 89 and my motor doesn't ping and i get good mpgs.
