Default Regular vs Plus on EX

Hi guys,

I have a 98 EX V-TECH engine. With high gas prices $ difference between Regular and Plus is almost not existant. Will filling up with Plus give any benifit vs Regular. Any MPG, HP/Torque improvement at all?

Thanks

It's "VTEC." The answer to your question is no. It just has less resistance to detonation, which is useful with higher compression. You don't need it. This question has been asked many times, please use the search function and look for the answer to your question before you open a new thread.

There's a search thing on the forum up at the menu bar, where you can search through previous threads.
