Hi Mz Fit,

Usually, you should go by the manual. That's what we do.

Honda recommends 87 octane for all Fits.

That's what I use, that's what's made for your Fit.

Just because you have no clue doesn't mean you can't read the owner's manual to learn. It's an excellent book to get maximum use out of a great car.

You should use regular gas. There will be no benefit to using a higher octane gas in the Fit as it comes from the factory other than lightening your wallet. However, if you want to use 97, that's fine... it won't harm your car.

BTW... where are you getting 97 octane? Is that a race gas???

Might be a typo. 87 or 92 is my best guess.
