91 - anything more without some way to modulate the timing is wasting $$$. BTW, anything less than 91 isn't worth the long term cost of engine parts - you save .10 cents per gal. Fill at 1/2 tank level and that works out to save .70...
Can you please explain? I'm just curious...

i think he means drive til the gas light comes on then fill up to only 1/2 a tank. you'll save 70 cents because of the less weight from a full tank.

What about the part about modulating the timing? Did Honda intend this car to be driven on 91 in the US market?

Always 93. Shell V power if I can, if not, then BP, then mobil, and down the steps.

What would 93 octane do if the ecu is set to take only 91?
