erm... wut... (fuel question)

Picked up my new 3is yesterday and I was wondering what the recommended fuel grade is...

I distinctly remember the dealer telling me that I could put in regular unleaded like a normal Honda, but I looked at the service manual it says to put in 91 octane...

Can anyone help clear this up for me?

dealer told us the same when we got ours. And we had specifically asked.

Then as I started reading the manual, I saw the premium fuel part. So we switched to that.
