Why would you WANT to run a high octane? You should be asking what is the LOWEST octane rating you can run is.

Octane rating DOES NOT equal power. Cars with aggressive compression and/or boost just need it to prevent detonation. Your Prelude falls into neither of these categories.

You'll actually get MORE performance out of the lowest octane rating you can run (since it is less resistant to ignition). So save some money, make some power, and just run good ol' regular 87.
