What gas does a 2024 Acura Integra take?
The base Integra generally uses regular unleaded gasoline (87 octane). The high-performance Integra Type S requires premium gasoline (93 octane) for optimal performance.
This explainer covers fuel requirements by trim, why octane matters, and practical fueling tips for 2024 Integra owners. It reflects guidance from Acura’s manuals and typical dealership recommendations for the 2024 model year.
Fuel requirements by trim
Below is a concise guide to what octane rating each version of the 2024 Integra should use, with notes on flexibility and practical considerations.
Standard Integra (non-Type S)
The standard 2024 Integra with the 1.5-liter turbocharged engine is designed to run on regular unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87. Regular 87 is typically sufficient for daily driving, and using mid-grade (89) or premium (91–93) is optional unless you prefer the feel of higher-octane fuel.
Integra Type S
The Integra Type S is tuned for higher performance and benefits from premium gasoline. Acura recommends premium unleaded gasoline (91 octane or higher), with 93 octane preferred for peak power and engine health. Running on regular 87 can lead to reduced performance in this variant.
Other considerations
In the United States, most gasoline is blended with up to 10% ethanol (E10). The Integra’s engines tolerate ethanol blends, but it’s still wise to check the fuel door label and owner’s manual for exact tolerance and regional variations. Always verify the octane requirement for your specific market and model year, as requirements can differ by region.
Tips for fueling and maintenance
To maximize performance and longevity, keep these tips in mind when fueling your Integra:
Use regular 87 octane for Standard Integra, and premium (91–93 octane) for the Type S. Read the fuel door sticker and the owner’s manual for the exact octane recommendation and ethanol limits for your vehicle. If you mostly drive a Type S, consistently using premium is advisable for sustained performance. Use reputable stations to minimize fuel contamination and moisture issues.
Bottom line: For most 2024 Integra models, regular unleaded fuel works fine, but the Type S should be fueled with premium gasoline to achieve and maintain its designed performance.
Summary
The 2024 Acura Integra’s fuel requirements depend on the trim. The standard model uses regular 87 octane gasoline, while the Integra Type S requires premium 91–93 octane for optimal performance. Always refer to the owner’s manual and the fuel door label for your specific market and model year, and consider ethanol content in your region.
