Throttle response IS better because the ignition timing is different

The highest octane I've found in my area is Chevron at 92. If I could find a brand name gas station selling premium with a higher octane level in my area, I would use it. Its only a few bucks more at fill up and its worth it for the peace of mind it gives me.

Are European and American S2K's different?

In Holland Honda recommends we use 98 octane fuel. 95 is the lowest we can get and it's seriously not recommended.

I'd always get the highest octane fuel available.
