Chavv,

I'll awnser your first question:

"And what happens if an engine tuned for regular is filled with premium?"

Premium gas will do nothing to increase the performance of a car that wasn't designed for it, so don't waste your money and save damage to your wallet.

You know, sometimes when you follow a car and it's smell like rotten eggs? That's probably someone using premium on an engine that does not require it. This fowl smell is produced by the unburned fuel thas is being sent to the catalyc converter.

So besides stinking up the place, you're actually putting unecessary stress on your emissions system.

In regards to your second question:

"IS there possibility that 20y old engine (like Honda B16) can be damaged if one is using premium?"

Your not making sense because a B16 engines does require premium.



Rotten eggs = fowl smell. I guess that's right.
