Question on Gas

How do I know if the gas that I placed on my car is a "bad gas"? Would I feel any difference on the car's performance?

if you put lower then 91-92 octane gas you might notice a slight drop in performance...if you put in the very cheap stuff it could hurt your engine. just stick to always putting the premium grade (91-92 octane) gas in your car and i guarantee it will love you for it

The Si's ECU will compensate for lower octane gas decreasing your performance. You should always put 91 or better in the 99-00 Civic Si.

where do you get 94 octane at? Where do you people who don't get "pump gas" get your fuel at? Is there a filling station or do you order it in quarts or something? I would think not getting pump gas would be a hassle, unless it's not your daily driver..

Sunoco sells 94. They have 8 cents off Fridays on that. 7 cents off on Tuesdays for 93 octane.
