Engine:
H22A VTEC WITH intake
stick with 93 octane
110 is RACING fuel (Leaded)
its more for engines who can use the extra octane to run more boost or more timing or who have sky high compression ratios.

100 octane, which is rare in the US, will enhance the vehicle to the best possible STOCK timing. anything more advanced, and you need ECU reprogramming to take advantage of it. but 110 will make a stock unlead fuel designed car run like shit.
that MYTH about more than 93 is just that, a myth. ive run 100 octane, the shit made the car feel like it was RIGHT after break in. crisp, snappy.

I can tell you this, in my car I mixed C16 with 93, with a ratio that put it in the neighborhood of 102-104 octane. I lost MAJOR power on my low boost settings. Car ran like complete ass until I went to the higher boosts where I was compressing the fuel enough for it to burn completely and efficiently. And that's on a medium size turbo Supra...imagine the results in a n/a Honda.
