The 06 Si has the K20Z3 powerplant which brings classic Honda I4 performance to the table. With 11:1 compression ratio and 8k redline, the manual calls for premium and should be given so.

Unfortunately, there seems to be an idea here that regular is just fine. I am sure his manual specifies premium.
