Not neccessarily, the ss/sc only requires 87 octane. It's about compression, not always FI. My 2.4 has higher compression than the ss/sc.

2006 Chevrolet Cobalt 2SS Coupe Specs & Features at Automotive.com

There. Just because people use it doesn't mean it's recommended, they probably just think it makes it run better, and it very well could. But the factory just recommends 87.

As it happens, the factory does recommend premium for the LNF, but also specifically states that it is not required.
