Can I put 87 gas in my Honda Civic?


Yes, most Honda Civics use 87 octane gasoline, which is the recommended minimum octane rating according to Honda's owner's manual. While some performance or turbocharged models may recommend 91 octane, the vehicle's computer can adjust for lower octane fuel, though this may lead to slightly decreased performance. It is important to check your specific owner's manual and the fuel door for the exact recommendation for your model and year.
 
Gasoline recommendations

  • Standard recommendation: 87 octane is the recommended minimum for most Honda Civic models and is safe for daily driving. 
  • Turbocharged models: Some turbocharged Civic models may have a higher octane recommendation (like 91) for optimal performance, but they are designed to adjust to 87 octane without engine damage. 
  • Performance driving: For performance-oriented driving, a higher octane fuel like 91 is better because it can handle higher compression ratios, leading to more consistent power. 
  • Engine damage warning: Using gasoline with an octane rating below 87 can lead to engine damage. 
  • Check the manual: It's always best to confirm the specific recommendation for your car in the owner's manual or on the fuel door.
