Our engines are designed to run on premium fuel. The higher octane rating means a higher resistance to premature detonation. I run 93, but some states offer only 91 as the highest octane and that will work.

If for some reason you have to put 87 in the car, go very easy on the revs as you don't want any pinging, and refill with high octane as soon as possible.
