I thought a stock Tc should only use 87. I heard anything else could damage your engine.

This? Again!?! You put in 87, unless you've upped the compression or are boosted. Then you run 91 or higher. It's just that simple.

wouldnt damage the motor if you use a higher octane, only if its lower than what manufacture recommends. Basically if your car needs 87 and you put in 89 or 91, you will be throwing money away unless you have made modifications that require it which usually refers to higher compression of some kind.

Im using 54635135484 x 948372979328 + 74985785432 - 5748903579437956 = 5984235747 / 4983759437 x 509435683486093 (95874359

- 89543759843^2 = 59873584350 x 948372979328 + 74985785432 - 5748903579437956 = 5984235747 / 4983759437 x 509435683486093 (95874359

- 89543759843^2 = 59873584350x 948372979328 + 74985785432 - 5748903579437956 = 5984235747 / 4983759437 x 509435683486093 (95874359

- 89543759843^2 = 59873584350 /543543

which equals to 87

hope this answer your question.

a few years back when gas was cheap, I put 93 in my D-series Civic. Little did I know, the car had a knock sensor and would alter timing depending on the octane so benefit would only to bring out lower emissions gas. Dont know if the tC has something like that.
Basically, you can even put 87 into a S2000 or RSX-S..... you just cant floor it and you wont get optimum performance.
