    if you are running a stock k20a3 which requires regular grade fuel, you will not see an increase in performance or any better millage by running mid grade or premium fuel. and, any change in the "smoothness" of your motor is all in your head.

    the way i see it, its a plus that the ep runs regular and is as fun to drive as it is. all the cars that came out at the same time as the ep that were in the same class required premium.
    coulda sworn there was also something to do with the flame propagation...but i guess i could just be crazy...which is very likely
    my ep is white...

    I was always told that the higher the octane the slower the fuel burns, which to me would mean that its less likely to prematurely explode (due to high compression or carbon build-up on the piston heads=knock) before the spark plug ignites it. I've been using 89 octane Shell lately because subconsciously I buy the "v-power" BS
