You can try 91 but if you feel you get a bit smoother running and/or slightly better economy on 95 then keep using it.

Try 95 then. You first post suggested you were already using it from what I could make out if it.

Your definition of a developed nation is odd then, seems good old USA (and many others) is third world now!

Intrade! You seem particularly anti-just-about-everything these days, aren't you well or just really stressed? I certainly accept the language difficulties but why so angry, I'm sure we would love to hear more of your usually useful input if we knew why you are so upset about life out here away from your homeland.

most arrogant. probably. Dumbest? you don't become the largest economy in the world from being dumb. What's your home country again and explain how it is superior to the USA please.

Is it true some Honda motors burn valves when run on 95 exclusively instead of the recommended 91?.

USA lives on borrowed money. If China called in all the loans and cashed up all the companies owned the US would be bankrupt. They are poor money managers as a nation. Look at the debt level the government has.

Having spent the last 4 years visiting many countries around the globe, there is a great long list I'd rather not live in - and the US isn't on it.
As for the initial query, my first reaction was sarcastic, but many NZ cars seem to run well enough on 91 and I resent having to pay so much extra per litre for 98 for older cars that need it. Years ago, we got 101 Shell (5 star) at the pumps for a couple of pence a gallon more than Shell 99, so I think that maybe we are being ripped off these days for everything above 91.
