I have to agree about using the LOWEST octane that is satisfactory. I read that 87 Octane actually has higher BTU content then high octane.
On my old Ford, I could easily tell what grade of fuel it had, 87 pinged quite often, 89 only occasionally, 91+ NEVER pinged. I ran 89-got 200k miles out of it.
