It wouldnt nessarily hurt the car, the car will retard itself to support the octane, but u may run into a case of where the engine might start knocking...but I wouldnt run 87 octane to save a buck here and there... I wouldnt want to hinder the performnce of the car

Don't know what the differntial is on gas, but you might be able to save a buck by purchasing octane booster from your automotive supplier. It could very well be moot point if the booster ends up costing the same as the price of x amount of gallons? Just a thought
