The MY06, worldwide, is the 2.2L with drive-by-wire, etc. MY04-MY05 did have the 2.0L (in Europe and JDM markets).

As long as you are running premium gasoline I am sure your v-tec engagement will be just as strong, regardless of vendor. Most gas stations get all their fuel from the same pipeline anyway

I have an '06.
I've notice a significant difference in VTEC from what fuel I use.
If I run Chevron I can hardly tell it crosses the 6k boundary, though the engine feels very smooth, consistant, and strong at all rpm.
If I run Shell, even though it is already pulling hard at high 5k, it explodes into VTEC at 6k - unmistakable feeling of surging forward/being press into your seat especially in 2nd gear, however, the car is just a bit more jerky or slightly hesitant at low rpm.
I find the VTEC power of the Shell perferable over the smoothness of the Chevron.
I'm in California. Both the Chevron & Shell I've tried are 91 octane (that's the highest we can get here in most of CA). I've also run through several tanks in a row to be sure.
I suspect that the Shell is just slightly faster burning, which is good for power, but can cause occasional knock, which results in the less smooth feeling. I also suspect that this engine is sensitive to minor changes in fuel, and has an aggressive knock sensor.
