It takes substantially longer for a pcm to go back to the high octane spark tables than to go to lower because of 87 octane.
I would stay clear of high loads/rpms until the gas tank is gone. Most probably case is you'll get some knock and go to the low octane and it'll take a tank or 2 of premium to get back to higher spark values.
Worst case is your tune doesn't use the low octane tables anymore and you'll knock for the whole tank. If that happens, just make sure you stay out of it.
