I would still never use 87 or 89, and it's really not that much of a difference anyway, so why not use the right octane?

For example 87 $ 2.99 89 $3.09 91 $3.19
87 x 10 gallons at 2.99 = 29.9, 89 x 10 gallons at 3.09 = $30.90, 91 x 10 gallons at 3.19 = $31.90. You're only paying on average $2 more or about $10 more a month using 91 octane or higher.

the reason i'm questioning the whole thing is because i feel like if i'm just driving it to and from work and not even engaging VTEC that its a waste for $2.60/tank/week ($135/year). I don't think 10.0:1 compression and 4,000 rpms is enough to justify higher octane.

again, Is 10.0:1 compression really considered high?

Re: DA Integra's Only

i would't consider it high. I agree Kyle, for a daily running 87 is fine.
I would compare gas mileage though.

oh and Andy Pants, i know what they sell in PA, lived there for 25 years

says the guy with a turbo avatar....

i'm just thinking maybe it might not be necessary for daily driving...but i can see how the engine would obviously not run as smooth aty higher rpms and gas mileage may suffer. That would ruin the whole plan.

I've always ran 93 in all my vtec motors, although for some reason I'm cheap and run regular in my CL but I really don't see a reason to put 93 in that.

you said "if the engine was designed to run on a certain octane, there's probably a good reason for it."

I agree with you completely. I'm thinking that honda definately designed their engines to run naturally aspirated, and probably for a good reason. unless you think that your R&D by searching online for the best turbo pistons was better then theirs when they designed then engine you put them in...
