Never in my life have I worried as much as this crowd does about octane.
If you can afford a car you can afford to run good fuel for 6 dollar difference per tank.
If its a lease or you do not care than run the cheapest bargain basement bull that you can find.
If your keeping the car or you care at all about the longevity of the engine, RUN 93-94-95 HELL ID SAY ANYTHING UP TO 100 UNLEADED. Base model OR SI DOES NOT MATTER.
A turbo car is a turbo car is a turbo car.
No matter what safety systems the companies run to allow the cheap jokers to get away with shit fuel; A turbo car WILL GUARANTEED BE SAFER TO OPERATE WITH HIGHER OCTANE.
Did I mention turbo car?
Boost and octane go hand in hand. If we were talking about a lawnmower engine that was turbocharged I'd say the same thing.
If Honda were to tell me directly I was wasting my money I would still waste it using better fuel. From experience.
Forget the recommendations, forget the is 91 ok?, they are all turbo charged small displacement motors under ridiculous load at times for their size.
RUN GOOD FUEL.
I say this spiritedly because I care about the state of health and well being of these cars AND the owners!
You need to put a little more emphasis on the needs of engines with turbos. Great post, by the way. I agree
