So glad I found this video. It precisely answered my questions pertaining to octane and my '21 Accord Touring 2.0T. I have 6k miles on it and have been using 87 but I'm pretty sure I'll be switching to 93 now. Thanks for making this excellent video!
@@juanpizano7781it’s not only how much power you gain, it’s that much power you gain plus where it’s applicated. on 87, the power band is linear up to redline. on 93, the power band peaks at around 2500 and stays consistent until redline.
Thank you for the video! It was a bummer for when I saw the reading on Econ was not doing anything to my gas mileage on a highway. I would stick to regular now!
@@TheLemonFactor Yes, defintely. Here in Canada, we measure in KM's / Kmph. I use 91 Octane, and my readings has been following on non stop with 4-5 hours journey cruising at 130kmph ( 80mph) on highway for a total of 590kms, non stop ( 361 miles approx) on a one full tank. the readins are on Econ and I am really pleased with the gas mileage. I will be trying regular mode next time.
I bought my 2018 2.0T EX-L about 200 miles from my house, did an average 80 MPH, 3 hour drive home, and achieved 37.2 MPG. This was quite literally ONLY highway driving, so that was quite surprising given HWY MPG is advertised at 34 MPG.
I can use my scangauge to monitor instantaneous fuel efficiency as well as ignition timing, and running higher octane makes a near immediate (within 20 miles) change in the ignition timing advance (almost impossible to get above 30 degrees with 87 octane and almost impossible to go below 20 degrees with 91) and under very high load conditions, the higher octane is doing right around 8-10% better instantaneous fuel economy on the exact same hill and under the exact same conditions. Below 40% throttle, they're the exact same though. Depending how hard you drive the car, you could see no significant change at all or at best a 10% improvement by using the higher octane. realistically I would imagine a max improvement of 7-8% since it would be extraordinarily challenging to be under full load for an entire tank of fuel, except maybe on the autobahn. I imagine the increase in fuel economy directly correlates to an improvement in available power since pretty much the only variable we're affecting is net thermal efficiency of the engine, not air or fuel quantities, so you could see up to 10% more power and torque as well. Whether that's worth the 15-30% price difference is up to the owner. Different vehicles will have different capabilities to take advantage of higher octane which is something else to keep in mind. I do believe the most frugal choice is just to buy cheap low octane fuel and baby the car, and premium fuel is treated as a luxury for a spirited high performance drive. The dumb thing about all of this is that if cars and trucks were just designed to run optimally on low octane fuel, they'd be more efficient than trying to run a lower than optimal fuel at a disadvantage. I really wish vehicles were designed with the cheap and plentiful fuels in mind. It seems like everything manufactured after 2017 or so can take advantage of premium and runs at a disadvantage with even basic 87, even if it's advertised to only require 87.
Good post!!!! I do know that with a heavy trunk I also lose gas mileage. Both long trips I've taken in my 2.0 averaged 34 mpg, each trip. 2k miles per trip. Stock setup.
Good video! I own 2020 accord 2.0 sport with 10 speed, I’ve logged 47k miles, mostly freeway miles, I’ve averaged 25-27 mpg with Jb4 map 2 on the car from 20k miles onward with 91 octane. Prior to that I used 87 for the 1st 20k miles and honestly my mpg never changed….🤷🏽♂️

Nice. You relocated to the home of the fastest accord! And thank you for doing this. I was one of the people in your comment section with the view point higher octane is better whether you ran mods or were fully stock. I love these cars. Love modding them for people. Inside and out. I'm 414 to the wheels right now.
@@TheLemonFactor the type r turbo. I will get the one from Mitsubishi though. It's putting up impressive numbers. My friend has 478 with that turbo. Soon as they release a fuel upgrade. You will have quite a few 500+ 10th gen accords. So exciting
Excellent video , done very well. I have a Phearable tune for 93 but I tend to throw a small amount of E85 in it and my kcon levels with normal driving are always at .20
Econ mode can help with in-town driving, But rpm is the same as in normal mode once cruising. Easy to see when turning Econ on/off while cruising. Econ deadens the throttle and has the car starting from stop in a higher ratio.
The best I've done on either of my Accords was 70 miles on the long island expressway both directions. (140 total). I was going 60 both ways, and got 40.1 going and 38.5 returning. The reason: the outlets are at the end of the expressway. There was no traffic and it was about 40 out. The car? A 2013 Accord V6 with the vcm deactivated.
Love that you made such thorough research on this. Question, I have a 2018 Hyundai Elantra GT Sport 1.6T. Maybe it’s just me but it seems turbo charged vehicles no matter the size of the turbo seems to get better Performance and MPG with 91/93 octane gas. Have you tested any cars where the manufacturer suggests lower octane rating, but claims if using a hight octane that HP and MPG would increase?
I learned this with my civic when I filled my tank n it went to 400 miles vs the 300s which is more range. I also noticed my car had way better gas mileage meaning more driving
i have a honda accord 2019 1.5 L and on normal mode i do an average of 600 ish km if i top the tank and add a few click. did montreal / niagara fall this summer and tested the eco mode and filled up the same and did around 725 ish km. and im always using 87 octane
Wow i want the accord 2.0turbo but didnt want to be spending the extra $1.20 gallon which equals $1200 a year average because of the turbo! Guess i will have to see the whole video! Thank you.

Pretty sure that Eco will have a mileage effect but it would be primarily in city type driving. I've got around 30K miles on my 2.0 T and maybe 10 miles of that was in Eco mode. I hate it, the motor feels numb. It seems to upshift faster and maybe limits boost. That sort of strategy would be effective in stop and go driving but not at all at a steady speed. Altitude: I've got a private pilot license and it's well known that non-turbo or non-supercharged piston motors tend to lose about 3% power for each 1000 ft. I'd have to know more about the Honda's turbo system to know if the turbo would lose any power at all because the turbo would make up for the loss in atmospheric density. I assume that the system has a waste gate or pop off valve to vent overpressure so that implies that the turbo has more pressure capability than the motor needs. Whether the turbo can continue to supply the 1.5 atmosphere boost (21 PSI) while feeding from an atmospheric pressure of almost 20% less than sea level is unknown to me. One thing is clear, a turbo motor's power loss with altitude is MUCH less that a non-turbo or supercharged motor. Read about piston powered fighters and bombers during WWII, the heyday of piston motor development. They got pretty complicated, with multi-stage supercharging with turbo to boot but they got the late war fighters and bombers up to 35,000 ft. and in at least one case, to 40,000 ft.
I’m sure the ECON mode helps with variable speed/gear driving, just not with steady state driving. Agree with the turbo, assuming it has some headroom it should be able to compensate (at least somewhat) for the altitude. I’ll be dyno testing to both cars to see 😁
@@TheLemonFactor Press the ECON button, and both the climate control system and the Drive-By-Wire throttle system take a more relaxed route to enhance fuel efficiency.
Great video, useful info!! Question. What would be the difference in fuel after 100,000 miles? Less gum deposits on valves, EGR valve with longer life, etc.
If you’re running an aftermarket tune, definitely use the highest octane gas you have access to. If you’re totally stock, personally I would use 87 octane as I don’t think the added cost of premium gas is worth it. Here’s another video in which I dyno test 87 octane vs 93 octane… 10th Gen Honda Accord - DYNO TEST // 87 vs. 93 Octane th-cam.com/video/r04gCEaBGUA/w-d-xo.html
In my non turbo 2.4 Toyota 87 with ethenol gets me 280 miles per tank and 93 with ethenol gets me 380 miles per tank. Also, 89 with no ethanol gets me 380 miles per tank. 😎👍👍
Is my car faulty i get like 19 mpg on eco mode on my 2020 2.0t is this normal i never use sport mode only use regular gas do i need to use premium i feel like im driving a v8 i have to put $25 every 2-3 days this is terrible
I bought a 2023 mazda 3 sedan 2.5 non turbo engine. Manual says use 87 or 93. Im in California, should i use 91 or stick with 87. What are the benefits ? Educate me please
In your case, it looks like you can use any octane gas from 87 and up. Your car will adjust the timing based on the octane rating / knock detected. As a result, you’ll most likely lose some power by using a lower octane fuel.
I drive mon-friday 25/30 min at 70-80mph and I get average of 41mpg But i have 22 Hybrid Sport But put normal gas But was wondering if i put higher oct would i get more Miles?
That was my mistake. Thank you for pointing this out, I've since updated the info in the description of the video. The tire are; Continental PureContact LS (a Grand Touring All-Season tire) 235/40/19.
is 1-2 mpg even worth the cost of getting 91 octane compared to the 87? My dad has always put 91 in it but i always put 87 and i feel like there’s no difference
I noticed when i put 89 the acceleration was way better and in the manual it did say 87 OR HIGHER is recommended soo just because it can run on shit regular gas doesn’t mean it will be good in a long run remember the problems with the fuel injection system only way to clean them mfs or at least help in the long run will be the premium gas from TOP TIER GAS STATIONS

I bought a 2023 mazda 3 sedan 2.5 non turbo engine. Manual says use 87 or 93. Im in California, should i use 91 or stick with 87. What are the benefits ? Educate me please
In your case, it looks like you can use any octane gas from 87 and up. Your car will adjust the timing based on the octane rating / knock detected. As a result, you’ll most likely lose some power by using a lower octane fuel.
I drive mon-friday 25/30 min at 70-80mph and I get average of 41mpg But i have 22 Hybrid Sport But put normal gas But was wondering if i put higher oct would i get more Miles?
I notice when I put put good gas from a shell or chevron the 87 makes my car drive better but wit 91 harm my car?
I’m not sure if I missed it but he said you were going to put the type of tires below that you have and size. Could you tell me again please?
That was my mistake. Thank you for pointing this out, I've since updated the info in the description of the video. The tire are; Continental PureContact LS (a Grand Touring All-Season tire) 235/40/19.
You will get the best mpg using non-ethonal gas. Not available at all gas stations though.
is 1-2 mpg even worth the cost of getting 91 octane compared to the 87? My dad has always put 91 in it but i always put 87 and i feel like there’s no difference
With the price of gas what it is, it’s a valid point 🤷♂️
@@TheLemonFactor would you say it’s worth?
On a stock car, no! I’d stick with 87 octane! On a tuned car (which I am), then yes, because the tune was programmed to use higher octane gas. 👍
This was the magic question/answer I was looking for, thank you!
👍
Thanks for this video bro
My pleasure 😁. I’m glad you liked it 👍
I noticed when i put 89 the acceleration was way better and in the manual it did say 87 OR HIGHER is recommended soo just because it can run on shit regular gas doesn’t mean it will be good in a long run remember the problems with the fuel injection system only way to clean them mfs or at least help in the long run will be the premium gas from TOP TIER GAS STATIONS
Got the 2019 2.0 6spd . I do better with 93. Trying to control my heavy foot.🤦🏻♂️
😁

Ill be using 87...simple
Have gotten 50mpg coming down the hill from Big Bear, CA. Accord 6spd 2.0t, mishimoto intake/Borla exhaust.
Is this bad for gdi honda v6?
I get better gas mileage with premium
But does it offset the additional cost of the Premium?
Too much talk.
agreed but informative
Great video
I’m glad to hear you liked it 👍😁
