I used 91 and never had any problems in my old hatch with a GSR swap.

No.. Those engines require 91+ octane. If you dont want to pay the 7 extra cents per gallon of gas then dont do the freaking swap. Do it right or not at all.

yea, unless it starts knocking
but if the manual says 91 put that in, don't go any higher because you won't see any difference except.. less money in the bank

x2. It's not even a huge price difference. Its a freaking Civic gas tank (average 10 gallon tank) so you save. $ .70 cents.
