Since it is an LS, anything more than 89 is a waste since the engine cannot take advantage of the extra octane.

If it's a non-VTEC Integra, 87 will do fine.
If the car has a VTEC motor, you must use 91 or higher octane.

In short, follow the manufacturer's recommendations.

stock cars are designed to run in 89.....(regular), unless u have a performance engine, or race constantly, anything more is a complete waste of money.

A GSR is stock and it REQUIRES at least 91 octane.
