    First off, it's VTEC. Second consult your owner's manual but I'm pretty
    sure it's regular 87. Higher octane is for engines with higher compression.

    It's the same engine as the Accord. 87 is fine. Use 89 if it feels sluggish or
    hear knocking.

    2.2 CL's don't come with Lude engines unless someone swapped it out
