You should always run what the manufacturer recommends. For the S2000 Honda recommends 91 octane, so that's what you should run.

If you are low on money and running out of gas, sure, you can put 87 in and it won't hurt anything. to get the performance and the 240 HP Honda claims, you need to run what they recommend.

Now, for cars that call to run 87, and putting in 91, now that's different, since it calls for 87.

Huh??

They didnt make a Turbo celica in 2000.

If there was a turbo involved, I'd expect the HP increase is purely related to the ability to increase boost.

If you can't afford the extra couple dollars it costs to put in 91+ then you shouldn't be driving a S2000.

I bet they documented what you said, and you just voided your warranty.
