Fuel Grade

[Naija Bull]

I've been putting 87 in all my Si's for the past 7 years, including my current one. Their engines have been bullet prove, no issues. If the manufacturer states 87 is acceptable, then it is. Why would they state that 87 is acceptable when it isn't long term and risk law suits? Put 87, 89, 91, 93 whichever you prefer, you'll be fine.

I get what you’re saying, but it begs the question : Why would Honda engineers recommend 91 (spelled out right on the car itself)?

They recommend it simply to get the best possibe fuel economy and power output possible out of the engine. 91/93 will get you the best possible power and MPG, so Honda recommends that grade for the consumer. It has nothing to do with reliability of the engine.

So, then, if one buys an Si (a performance oriented vehicle) and puts 87 in it, they’re really only depriving themselves of the intended driving experience.

Yep, that's pretty much it.

Like others above…. It’s 93 only for me, but I’m lightly tuned so it’s a no brainer.
