Welcome! Got a pic of the inside gas cap?
Any car these days can run on regular. Performance will suffer on performance cars from the octane hit, but otherwise, running regular is OK. No need to worry, unless you have a performance variant we're not aware of!

Off topic, but kinda in the same vein ….. I am a night-shift nurse....the hospital supplied water jugs - only used for cold beverages - are stamped....on the inside/underside of the lid "warning - contents may be hot" ….. this lid only snaps on one way, and the "warning" is obscured from view.....go figure.....and, yeah, Fit's don't really benefit from premium gas, unless you have a tuner of some sort.
I did a road trip once, from so cal to utah. at 1 gas station in the middle of no where, we filled up the rental car, this gas station did carry lower than 87 oct. we used it anyways .... yolo

Fuel requirements for US and Canadian versions of the Fit is exactly the same. Top tier, anything from regular to premium.

Not uncommon in mountain areas. At high altitudes engines run at lower compression because there’s less air to compress, making lower octane fuels usable.
