Open your fuel door. Read the sticker there. To save you time, it says "Premium fuel only".
Yes, our cars have knock sensors, yes, they will remove timing once knock is detected, but you can still damage the tops of your pistons or even rods.
If you are running around on 87 octane, what happens if you suddenly need to romp on the throttle? Detonation happens, that's what. Hell, in this hot weather, you could detonate at part throttle on 87 octane.
Octane boosters are largely snake oil. That means they don't work. This has been tested by car magazines and consumer reports.
Sometimes I alternate a tank of 89 with a tank of 93 in my wife's car because she doesn't ever WOT it. I would never put 87 in it.
