Pretty much all of the vtec B series motors require premium from the factory because of the relatively high compression and fairly aggressive ignition timing.
I have ran less in then on road trips with no problems but stop and go traffic with lots of acceleration, I wouldn't chance the detonation.

look all cars now days are built to run 87 thats it unless you got somthin that says run 91 because there not goin to tell you to run anything higher cuz its hard to find at a pump gas with more octane, running more octane only has to do with your motors comp ratio

octane = reduces knock, what are you guys talking about?
think about this, try 87, if you get excessive knock, go up in octane. everyone keeps thinkin octane means the gas turns in to the nectar of the Gods or something, its just refined to REDUCE KNOCK
