I think if it's a sedan you don't need 91,
and if you think about it. a full tank of gas costs liek what $6 more with premium? don't be cheap.

Hope that helps.
I don't think, however, that daily driving performance will be greatly reduced. I think you will notice a difference but not by a great significance. | and with reduced performance, comes the heavier foot, comes crappier fuel milage.

Modern day cars have knock sensors, which will retard the timing when it detects knock, reducing some performance. Older cars without electronic systems you'd have to rely on hearing your car ping.
I've ran regular in my VQ once in the summer without issues..your cars are queens. I'm amazed how sensitive everyone else's car is when running regular.
Unless your car is tuned, you should be running the lowest grade octane your car can handle without knocking, meaning follow your damn owner's manual.

premium dude, probably only couple of $ more vs regular.
what gas did the previous owner put in?
if its regular for 100k km, putting premium now might not help that much.

I' bought a used 07 civic si from surrey honda, and I don't know which gas the previous owner used, My car does make a ticking sound, so I think the previous owner was using 87 or 89.

You would be surprised how many people will put 87 in cars that obviously require higher octane.
Cheap ass bastards

i am pretty sure an '07 Civic does not need 94, unless it is far from stock.

I don't think, however, that daily driving performance will be greatly reduced. I think you will notice a difference but not by a great significance. | it mostly depends on driving styles, if the guy drives it around town like a granny, not on the accelerator too much, just putting around, then ya he wont notice a thing. but with a exhaust note so sexy, how could one just putt around town in a G35? but always, follow what has been written in the owners manual, that shit has been written there for a reason.

Performance will be greatly reduced though. | mileage and hp can be seen effected. Tried it once with a full gas tank of reg gas.

If he's really that cheap, then tell him to go to Mohawk/Husky. You get 90 octane for the price of regular... still not what he should put in, but better than 87.

When I worked at Richmond Automall, I noticed the lot boys from Infiniti always put regular gas in their cars.
