,p1456...evap system small leak.....99% of the time is the gas cap leaking.....i see this at least 10x a day at work. Check the oring seal on the cap, make sure its not cracked dryrot or distorted. If you have a scanner or go to discount and have them clear it. And the p0420, cat converter could be starting to fall apart on the inside, or since you ran 87 octane, pcm could have tried to compensate for lack of octance, ran lean and saw an excess amount of O2 in exhaust...........get some higher octane fuel and clear the codes....go from there.....both codes are not uncommon, i see them in older/higher mileage Hondas everyday
