3.85/gal i think. premium.
I swapped from the regular i was running to this and it INSTANTLY started to idle better, and The gas i had in the tank was a different state but the same company. I need to seafoam and clean my throttle body, pedals sticking.

nice. i've been thinking about switching to 93. used it before on my CB when i had it and it did run a little more smooth.

Definitely keep us updated. Im a fan of the look but then again Im not, lol. Are they actual replacements or just overlays? Im definitely not a fan of the overlays.

I am almost positive they are an overlay but there is enough padding on the back to remove the old pedal and just add these on. I just really wanted the foot rest plate more than the pedals. I probably won't have time until next week to get them on because I don't have the tools at home to do the pedals and Pops is out of town this weekend. But I will put the foot rest plate this weekend and keep everyone informed on the pedals once I get them on.
Hopefully I can get my black housed headlights together and put on this weekend as well.

Also got a good quote today to get the engine steamed and cleaned along with a carpet/seats cleaning plus a wet sand and a stage 4 buff and wax for 250.00

It's hard to justify this, but I like knowing my car is getting the best, I already HAVE to use Honda ATF and HONDA PS Fluid, Why not give it the best when I'm not burning oil. When i buy the VW at the end of the year, I'm gonna be buying premium anyways(turbo 2.0), So might as well get into the habit of budgeting it out.

Buying higher octane fuel doesn't necessarily mean it's better for the car. Your stock motor was engineered to run on 87, it will run on that best due to the way it's tuned for combustion from the factory.

Like a broken fucking record!

IDK how many people I hear tell me they put 91oct or higher in their stock, or stock-ish, 87oct cars. Talking about "it runs better, blah blah blah". B*itch, your car was made to run optimally with 87! You're just wasting money. 91oct a couple times a year is fine but not every single tank. If you plan on buying a vehicle that runs on a higher octane and you feel you need to "budget it out", go ahead. But in the meantime you're not doing any big favors for the 87oct car.
