While I don't know if Nissan really does this, he def didn't say that the car "uses" 87 octane... I think he was just stating that it is detuned so that the car won't detonate if someone accidentally uses 87. Doesn't mean it will run well on 87, just means it won't put a hole in the block.

In the manual you can specifically see that it will take 87 in an emergency but they reco no more than half a tank so that you can dilute with 92-93 when you next get a chance.
