To be specific, it's 91 octane that it's designed to run on. You can run 87, but the car will be slower.

Here in central Cali it's about 20 cents more per gallon to get 91 vs. regular 87, which is like maybe 3$ extra to fill up if premium is jacked up more than that, which honestly isn't that much.

It's like driving 10 miles to save a dollar in fill-up price which some people do...

... or like buying a hybrid instead of a regular civic to save money on gas
