Everything with 91 octane and higher is good.Don't spend money on expensive full, don't have point on regular or middle tuned engine.

Re: Best fuel for Honda Civic vtec 1998?

Civics before 2006 only need regular unleaded. My car is a 2005 soch Vtec and rated for regular. Better fuel is basically a waste unless you have a turbo.

I run regular 87 and when it's really hot in the summer I run 89 bc it knocks sometimes and I can feel the ecu retarding the timing.
