I don't know about the S but usually the extra octane is wasted in stock engines with stock compression. A few of our members reported reduced performance, hesitation, engine roughness with the 94 octane. Theory is that it's not burning as easily with the stock compression. All of these symptoms went away after they switched back to regular premium. I personally use Esso 92 right now and it's giving me the best fuel economy from the four major companies. The premium Esso gasoline has a much smaller sulphur content than their regular gas which is one of the worst. Here is some good info from very recent sulphur content refinery tests.

Sunoco 94 in all the cars. The older ones won't run on anything else and the newer ones seem to perform better. I have been using it exclusevely for several years and am quite happy with the results. The "S" (Honda not Cooper) we will see but I don't forsee any problems.
