Well, it’s a C8 Corvette so I figure if I can afford the car, I can afford to fill it with 93 octane. When I drive it, I’m usually driving it pretty hard.

My new Honda Civic (which should be here in January) recommends 91 and that’s the max it will get.

Edit: Just checked the manual for my C8 and 93 octane is recommended. “If unavailable, unleaded gasoline with a posted octane rating of 91 may be used, but with reduced performance and fuel economy”.

That's actually shocking to me, with the Civic being Honda's compact sedan. Is it a Si, or Type R?

It’s just a normal Civic Hatchback EXL. It’s the turboed engine though which is probably why they recommend 91 octane. If I just got the Civic Sport with the NA engine, then it would probably be 87-89.

Top tier is really better. It doesn't matter what octane you use, they all have the added cleaners in them. Getgo used to have the worst gas before they went top tier, probably will be crap again.
