Only use higher than 87 if your car calls for it and BTW 91 around here is 2.45 a gallon and they are saying it will be .10 to .20 cents higher by monday GOD DAMN CALI gas stations

don't wast your cash, stick with regular. only the new accords(7th gen) have the ecu that can retard or advance the timing to account for different grades of gas.
