That's interesting. The sticker is even a different font, shape and size than mine. Looking at the Honda website it still says "Required Fuel: Premium Unleaded. Moving over to the Acura website I notice that the TSX says, "Gasoline with an octane number lower than 91 may be used, with reduced performance. Use of a gasoline with a pump octane number less than 87 can lead to engine damage." while the RL/TL/MDX/RDX all say, "Using gasoline with an octane lower than 91 octane may cause damage to the engine. Please consult the owner's manual for details."
