Can't really find a real answer on the net. Some people say it burns easier, some say its for higher compression cars (I'm thinking its this), and some say its pointless to put it in. So does it make difference If I put 91 in a car takes 87? I drive a 99 civic by the way.

Civic is an econo-box.

I doubt youll get any significant result from a 91 octane.

not really power but like just smoother running or make it easier for the engine to burn.

yeah the higher the better..... if you driver a real performance car. if you driver something under 200 hp, you will never need 91 octane.

unless it's euro...
if the car doesnt require 91, there is no reason to use it, UNLESS you're engine is knocking at the recommended octane level, then it might help.
sure it might "burn cleaner" but you might as well just light your money on fire, cause you'll have the same result.
